Subject: Alternator light
I remember reading something about this subject when I first joined
this digest about a year ago but now I need your help with it (because
I didn't pay attention last time). When I am driving my 1981 Spider
at night with lights and radio on, the alternator light comes on,
and thats with out having the fan on (it gets brighter). I wanted to
add a CD changer but am afraid of any more draw from the charging
system. Any fixes to this that won't need a loan from the bank? Will
an atrenator from a GTV or even a 164 fit? any help is given would be
great!
I added a later model Spider alternator to my '78 after adding A/C. I
think it was from a '86 Veloce. Dropped right in (as I recall) and
works fine.
