One thing after another.
I converted my car to an alternator 2 years ago. After driving 10 miles and returning home yesterday, my '60 Hardtop's GEN light came on bright as day. I shut the engine down and restarted. The light was off, then came on, and went off.
I drove another 6 miles noticing the alternator belt was squealing easily, but everything else seemed normal. So today I tightened the belt and checked the battery and alternator. The battery read 12.5V engine off, and the alternator produced 18.5V with the engine running!
I take it the internal voltage regulator took a dive. Are these easy to replace on a 10Si?
