Going back to the idiot light associated with the charging system. Got 
a question.

Yesterday I drove to the train station in the Midget. It was foggy so I 
turned on the lights. Well it was also daylight (can you see this one 
coming??) but when I got home it was dark, so dark the car wouldn't 
start. I got a jump and headed for the ol' hacienda. Along the way the 
charging light comes on, it was off a minute ago, I swear it was. I got 
home slapped the old trickle charger on the battery and this AM the 
idiot light was glowing brightly. In fact it gets brighter with higher 
RPM's. As do the dash lights and headlamps. I think I may have fried 
the voltage reg in the GM alt I have on the car.

Thoughts, Agreements, Stoopid Comments??

BTW the battery seems fine, started the car tonight after sitting all 
day. The Alt is putting put about 14 v at speed, when I checked last 
night. Didn't check today.
