8v alt and oxs light



why would be not cheap and easy on an 8v with ac? smae thing, except 90amps
bosh or what ever model alternator you got running... autozone sells then
for  cheap. Heck I replaced mine on both rocco at the same time..

=>Well, if the alternator belt is gone, you will not worry for
=>longer than 30
=>seconds about your alternator light coming up. Guaranteed.
=>
=>I think there was a discution about voltage regulator a while back, and if
=>they age, you will need to rev higher the motor for the light to
=>come off at
=>start up. Just change the voltage regulator. Easy and cheap, unless of
=>course it is an older 8V motor with AC.
