8v alt and oxs light

[marc_scirocco@sympatico.ca (Marc Scirocco Québec)]

Step one: locate the alternator underneath the AC compressor.
Step two: swear.
Step three: Change the voltage regulator.

Sorry about the sarcasm, but I have an '83, and the AC compressor went to
the bottom of a dumpster after my third water pump.

Cheers.
