A previous poster complained that his alternator equipped 
FC had flickering lights.  The reply remains valid.

"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.
