It's a 1984 carbureted 302. Painless wiring - Pertronix in the distributor - Alternator - voltage regulator - 2.5 ballast resistor. When I turn on my turn signal, the voltage meter spikes a discharge, each time the signal blinks. Good battery, good alternator. I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks

Please give more detail on your problem.
Do the turn signal bulbs light up like they are supposed to when you signal a turn with the engine running?
What sort of voltage readings are you getting at the alternator output and at the battery positive terminal?
