Samokin,
It really said that somewhere in the manual?! I have my '74 owners manual and thought that I had read it cover to cover by now and don't recall that. I'll look again...after I get the car back from the wrench.
Maybe the alternator light will be fixed by replacing the brushes...wrench says it will be a 3 hour ($180) job for the labor. Damn I wish I had my tools back! Divorce and no tools or garage is a PIA!
Turns out the brake light on that left side is out too...be careful when you take your car to the bodyshop. I'll bet the wires hanging down in the back of the quarter panel have something to do with the brake light and maybe the license plate lights as well. Maybe the electrical schematic for cars '65 and later on the pelican site will help...of course my wrench should figure it out.
