My alternator light came on so before I look into a replacement, is there any troubleshooting I should do first? Thanks Mike Kelly

Just noticed this warning under the illustration you linked:
"The illustration depicts the fuel gauge used in 1972 and is incorrect for the 1973 model year." Maybe the 74 manual also used that picture? |

Maybe the 74 manual also used that picture? Great, thank you for opening the link I provided; you may the only one, and yes it is incorrect for a 74. Tis was why I was confused in the beginning. I went to my Haynes manual to see what it would take to replace my oil pump. In doing so, I discovered that my oil pressure switch wire had came off the switch. Reconnected and all is good. Thanks everyone for your input. Mike Kelly |
