So there's no known fix for the battery light?
So there's no known fix for the battery light?
I'm wondering if my possible misaligned belt is causing the batt light at full throttle at high rpmI think there might be. I haven't looked into it that much yet. I believe it involves running a signal wire to the fuse box I believe. I know Mechman was making a kit for their alternator I believe. This is the first time since I've had the car that the battery light has ever come on. Mine only did it for a split second and only once.
That supplied bolt from nations was to thick in diameter. Retain all factory bolts and make sure the correct washer is used. Did you see my thread with pictures? I was running a Gates HD green belt.
OK just thought it could be slipping. I will log some data and check the voltage after a few runs. I just made the adjustment to the alternator mount w/ the nation's washer as BDubbs recommended and also just got through putting a new belt on.The alignment won't cure your batt light issue. My Natiion's does it and my alignment is fine. Some have said it could be the brushes bouncing at high rpm. Typically mine will do it around 5800-6k. Not ever single pull but more often than not. It maintains an output of 13.7 at the lowest on a wot pull and 14.3-5 at idle. Has to be a signal issue. I just deal with it. I'm not wot a lot.
OK I see the photo now. So I need to insert the nations washer in between the lower mounting bracket and the alternator and use the factory alternator bolt, correct?
Probably means your belt is too tight and or out of alignment. When I put my nations on, the belt I had was too tight according to the tensioner but I ignored it and ran the car, it squeeled and then a few days later my belt was destroyed.Ok I think the washer that was with the kit is to small or something I have a bad bad scream when the car is running will not go away
I don't think it's to tight and it don't sound like a belt at all I'll try to post a videoProbably means your belt is too tight and or out of alignment. When I put my nations on, the belt I had was too tight according to the tensioner but I ignored it and ran the car, it squeeled and then a few days later my belt was destroyed.
With a 2.8 upper & stock lower and nation's alternator and stock idlers with a 90mm snub blower idler I now run a 75 and 5/8" belt which works perfect.

BTW adding the washer that BDubbs recommended greatly helped me as well.I already stated that I needed a different washer than what was supplied with the kit. About double the width.
Ya I see that thank you I'm going to swap that washer out and put a new belt onBTW adding the washer that BDubbs recommended greatly helped me as well.
