<VV> alternator conversion

[Bonnzz@aol.com]

Hi guys,
I recently converted my 64 to the 3 wire alternator set up I bought from 
Clark's.
I have 2 problems...I must take off my negative battery terminal when it sits 
for more than 5 hours or the battery is dead. When I put a test light from 
the terminal to the alternator housing, it lights up. A friend told me it is 
probably the diode letting current flow backwards when stopped. Also, my idiot 
light doesn't work when I turn the key on. Clark's is sending me a free 
replacement alternator and regulator to see if one or both is defective. Anyone else 
have this problem?
I was also wondering if anyone else had an EM with dealer installed AC with 
the condenser mounted under the hood?   thanks for the help.......Mark Kinnan
