[QUOTE="CWT, post: 408221, member: 552399"] Does your ground or power run anywhere near your ignition system (Distributor, plugs, wires)? Or, are your plug wires really old? Any of these can put out "Noise". Also, most alternators i've seen have a radio suppression device (It's a capacitor) usually hooked up to the back of the alternator. Some ignition systems have a similar device hooked up to the coil or distributor. Also, check the engine's ground strap; ignition noise can feed-back into the charging system if the ground is bad. Pete; if you know some good diagnostic prociedures, I would also like to see them please; spark-chasing can be a real pain if you don't know where to look. Good luck with the problem. Later. [/QUOTE]
