The quickest thing to try is to repolarize the generator. Flash a wire
across the two generator terminals. If that was it, the generator light
should go off above about 1000 RPM.
Also, WITH THE BATTERY DISCONNECTED, try checking and cleaning the contacts
in the regulator. If they're dirty, you may not be getting a good charge.

Subject: Ignition warning light
I just installed a new wiring harness in a car that has not run for a
decade.
The ignition lite golws bright when key is switched on, but only dims
slightly when the engine is revved. I'll go thought the checklist in the
manual but thought there may be a simple solution. I painted the generator.
Is there a chance that it isn't grounded well enough? I've tried two
voltage
regulators and the problem is consistent.
