[DML] RE: Alternator light and LEDs

["Alan Roberts" <twodelo2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My '83 has all LEDs for indicators, including the alternator.  Although John 
disagrees, with the original Motorola alternator, the LED is quite 
sufficient to get the alternator gong.  All that is need is just enough 
current to get the action started.  Once some voltage is generated, the 
regulator rectifies the output voltage with its own rectifier and can 
maintain the output of the alternator.  The light comes on when the ignition 
is first turn on, and should indicate failure of the alternator (really the 
main rectifiers.
