As I recall some alternators need a diode in line with the excitation lead from
the ignition switch. I don't remember what the specs need to be on it, but
the problem is that the alternator is feeding some of its output back up the
wire to the switch, which is now open. This continues to supply power to the
coil. I will see if I can find any information in my records.
Peace,
Pat
