In response to the "Alternator Woes"  section:
I have to pretty much agree with Robb Murphy's readings, however in my 84 
Spider the "idiot" light in the  tachometer is pretty much faintly dimly lit 
all the time, and becomes brighter as rpms increase, or it will get brighter 
as accessories (lights, a/c, heater fan, ec.) are turned on.
Have never been able to solve this problem, and I have had other people with 
Spiders tell me of the same "idiot light" problem.
Bigger problem is,  I think,  Fred DiMatteo says online alt. should be 
charging batt. with 14.2 or 14.4 volts!
Do I need new alternator, or just new voltage regulator, or just replace the 
diode in the wire coming out of alternator to the  idiot light?
