Subject: [FC] gen light


GentlemenI am still sorting out the red "GEN" light on Rampys dash.Last night i 
installed a brand new voltage regulator. After that I unwrapped the wire harness 
in the engine compartment to check each wire for any shorts and found none. I 
also replaced the plastic clip holding the blue and brown wire going into the 
alternator with two new female soldered - on spade connectors that have a sure 
grip on their respective connections.The former grey plastic plug with its 2 
wires did not really fit the opening in the back of my alternator, it was 
slightly too large and stuck in the rectangular opening there.My reward for all 
the work is that now the red light seems brighter than before, and it no longer 
goes out when I rev the motor. I have seemingly made the problem worse.Next i 
will buy a voltmeter and follow the test procedures in the shop manual.I have 
lost pages 3&4 of the tech guide that I had followed in 2008 to convert the 
truck from generator - to - alternator, as I remove
 d that page from my 3 ring binder to take it under the hood.Could I ask anyone 
to email that page to me? I will be rechecking all the connections I made during 
that swap.ThanksTim W. '61 Rampy 140 4 -spd.
