Danny -

Thanks for suggestion. I did as you suggested and only got about 1 volt to read on my meter (if that) at the distributor side of the coil. Should I assume that means a burned out coil? I checked the battery as well, and there is plenty of voltage there. In fact, when I was disconnecting the output from the alternator I accidentally touched the side of my wrench to the alternator housing while loosening the output nut. POW! Lots of sparks! Does that make sense?

The coil itself looks very old, possibly original(?). Do coils just "go bad" eventually, or is it more likely that the alternator is still the culprit? Could a coil going bad cause the wild spikes on my amp guage, and the guage to eventually peg to 30+ all the time once the coil failed altogether? I"m virtually certain the alternator was new when installed last year. Can they come from the factory defective? Is there any way of checking whether the alternator is bad before replacing it? I"m not a mechanic, but am willing to try anything with a little instruction.

Thanks!

Mike
