Charge indicator light?
We put a one wire alternator on a 1956 F350 express; I know exactly how this
light works with a generator. I tried all my tricks with no luck with alternator. My
research comes up with some kind of monitor to sense voltage like if voltage
drops under 12vts the light comes on and goes off over 12vts (charging) is this
true and who sells them. Or I just may go with oil and amp gauges? Any one have
any luck with this? sam

If you have a power outlet (aka cigarette lighter), one of these works quite well.
