Hello all:

recently the alternator warning light on my 79SC stays lit for sometimes upto 10 secs on a cold startup, ie. only in the morning, after that all day it is OK, goes out right after start..
Iwill check the v-belt to make sure it is tensioned properly, but other than that what are some symptons for an alternator or voltage regulator getting ready to bite the dust ???


[or is this fairly normal on cold startup, now that it gets cooler at night]....


thanks for any help....
