So after I got my car started last night I went on a little spin through my town. It was dusk, so I had the headights on. After maybe 20 minutes or so of driving about I noticed that the ignition light was on. Turning off the headlights didn't seem to help, nor did revving up the engine a bit. I did notice when I first started the car that the light didn't go out right away. A quick blip of the throttle seemed to make it turn off, though.
I'm going to run through the generator tests listed in the shop manual tonight, but does anyone else have any good tests to run? I figure to also test the battery and make sure it is in good shape.
Also, does anyone know what sort of grease to put in the little "oiler" dohickey on the early style generator? Manual says to use a "high melting point grease"--is this the same as I will use to grease the various zerks on the chassis?
