<VV> Generator red dash light

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

I gather you're using a 10SI with the internal regulator? If so, add a 20 ohm, 10 watt resistor in parallel with the lamp. Regulator operation will be way more reliable, and it'll still turn on even if the bulb burns out. 

Basically, the way a 10SI should be hooked up is:
The BAT terminal should go right to the battery, preferably, or to the junction block. 
#1 goes to the lamp. 
#2, the voltage sense wire, goes to the junction block. 

Unplug the regulator, and using a voltmeter, make sure there's battery voltage on #2, and grounding #1 will turn on the dash lamp.

I've switched to alternator on '61 Lakewood, but dash light does not go off.  
Have looked at wiring and different things that may be the problem.  Any 
suggestions on what may cause that?  Will welcome all suggestions.
