        Tom inquired:

        "My headlights get brighter when I rev up my engine.  (Brighter than at
idle.)  My truck has been converted to 12 volts and has an alternator.  Does
this mean the alternator is not working well.  Or...is this normal and no
problem at all?

        Tom, most every car I have ever owned has done this, some more than 
others. I
have been told that it happens because an electrical connection somewhere has
some corrosion that does not allow a completely free flow of those loopy
little electrons. The idea about the battery being weak sounds reasonable
also.
