Duane, When I wire the excitation circuit that feeds voltage to a GM 10 SI's lil No. 1 terminal I USE AND RECOMMEND a 10 ohm current limiting safety resistor which can serve to protect the internal diodes HOWEVER many use no current limiting there and NEVER have a problem same as I have, its your choice, but Im a conservative who believes in an ounce or prevention is worth more then a pound of cure n better to be safe then sorry Sooooooooo I use the 10 ohm current limiting safety resistor, then only add a diode if necessary to prevent feedbacking the coil if she runs on even after the ignition is switched off. Ive seen such resistances in GM wiring diagrams and also heard the same precaution note from a GM engineer and know they work fine that way, so I use the 10 ohm safety resistor........ Besides if you feed that excitation circuit via a series Idiot Light, it sure has added resistance and limits the current !!! Question Two: Its possible to feed that excitation circuit via an idiot charge indicating light, simply place it in series between the switched voltage source and the alternators lil side No. 1 terminal. A voltmeter is an option that cant hurt and can provide you with good info, you can still use a series ammeter of course. I think Bob or Bob M even has the part number for that light John T

Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
