"You've got one of the three diodes out.  This is American stuff, not Lucas.
It's designed not to flicker."

Mark has a generator, not an alternator. Gemnerators generate DC as is, and don't use diodes. Lucas may have had many quirks, but putting diodes in generators wasn't one of them. I'd bet a scotch pie to a Sussex pond that Delco didn't put diodes in their generators, either, as they would serve no useful function.
