Hello. I have an 89 vert 5.0. 2 months ago my alternator died. I replaced and charged the battery. good for well over a month.
2 weeks ago dead. today I had time to look at it. charged battery got it started. volt Guage was high at idle. Rev it and it would spike and trigger the volt dash light. and two hours later the alternator is extremely hot still.
Voltage regulator? alternator shot?
Also is this related to my tachometer acting crazy for over a year? at times it just sits at 4 k.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
