I measured the same voltage on the "L" exciter wire as the voltage at
the battery, and the only warning light illuminating when I turn the
ignition to "on" is the "Fasten Belts" light. So I took the
ignition-on 12V source from the HEI plug and added a 470 ohm resistor,
1/2 watt, so when the battery voltage read 11.85 the L wire now reads
11.75.
I've read stock CS alternator wiring has a resistor in the wiring in
case the warning light goes out... my '80 probably does not have this
resistor. A 50 cent bulb took out the alternator?
