Tom,
  Thanks for the response.  
  Did Randall mention how many watts the resistor needs to be good for?
  The light is a little bothersome since it'll typically come on whenever I go 
down to a slow idle.  Probably the result of using the original generator 
pulley on the alternator instead of a smaller diameter one like the one that 
comes with it.  It's not an issue if  I leave the electric radiator fan on.  
I'd just like to clear it up......
  thanks,
  Bill

  Is it a problem? Mine doesn't come on if I rev the engine once after 
starting.
10 ohm is what Randall suggested.
