Well, I've been touring my parking garage in the MGB waiting
for the weather to improve. It's not licensed so this is about
as much driving as I'm likely to see for a while.
Anyways, the car has a previous-previous-previous owner installed
American alternator conversion.
The work seems acceptable, probably about as nice as I would do
it if I did it myself.
However, the ignition light stays on unless the engine is
revving fairly high, over 2500rpm.
Could this simply be a pulley size problem? The alternator seems
to have quite a few wires emerging from it and some are not
connected, so I am not quite sure. But it SEEMS to work as long
as the engine is "up there".
Also, any tips for removing a thermostat cover? All the bolts
come off, one actually broke, but I can't budge it loose. I don't
want to be too hard on it in case I break it, is it iron or
soft metal?
Thanks!
