Alternator light Glow
I have a 79 Spider with a very slight alternator light glow. So slight it cannt really be seen during the day but can be seen at night and gets brighter when I tun the lights on.

Same result with 2 alternators and 2 voltage regulators.

I installed a Voltmeter and the output is over a constant 13 volts and my light still "very very" faintly glows with the lights on so I don't worry about it any more.
