=================
My '79 Midget's light had the same symtomology. I took it to my wrench in
Pittsburgh who tested its output as fine. He said the "logic board for the
warning light" in the alternators of mid-late MGs often cause the light to
"glow" and not to worry unless the light became bright.
The alternator worked fine (the light continuously glowing) for the next
5-6 years, till I sold the Midget do to severe (Penna salt induced) body
rust.
