Re: [AMC-list] DuraSpark working BUT.

Note that this only applies to the stock AMC Motorola alternator. If you've swapped it for a GM unit, which is common, something's wrong. If you still have the regulater on an inner fender panel you have the Motorola alternator.

this may be the well known amc glowing alt light syndrome.  the bulb
resistance was actually part of the ckt, and it's vy difficult to find
the original bulb now.  if you sub a modern [brighter] bulb, you get
the glow.

the -alt- still works properly.
