Howdy! My Amp light has been on for some time now, I have yet to have a problem with it. I've got a 69 Delta 88. Alternator does not look to be very old, battery is new, and the voltage regulator is new(er). I got back form a charging system test at Advance Auto: charging fine and doing fine, according to the guy that did the test, but when I looked up at the machine, I noticed the number under the word AMP on it said 4.5. Is that right? When I questioned the fellow, he said, "well, it seems low, but the test shows 13.[whatever] volts." Hmmm.....what should I be seeing and what will eventually happen to me with my car?
