Just started my 84 to take it for a run, hasn't run in a few weeks due to business travel. The alt. light came on at ignition on and then stayed on when running. I put a Fluke meter across the battery terminals and got 11.9V, running and off. Battery was sort of drained so I put it on a charger. Ran fine two weeks ago. I can hear a sort of rumbling/clicking sound at the alternator, belt is tight. Had the alternator rebuilt about 5 y/o and not that many miles, may 8,000. I'll pull the gauge in the next few days if the charging of the battery doesn't fix it (which I doubt) to check the bulb spade connections (good tip, didn't know that). I'll check the connections at the battery, as well.
