Dadblastit!

The TR6 has started doing what my TR4 was doing about a year ago.

For no apparent reason what so ever, the ammeter will suddenly in the middle of
a drive decide to swing way up to the positive side of the ammeter.

It didn't quite PEG itself like the TR4 would do . . . but it is way up there,
and enough to make one uncomfortable.

It did it once about a week or two ago . . . and I idled the car back down and
drove back towards home with as low RPMs as I could manage.


A short while later  .. . it righted itself and started acting normal again.

On the way home from work today, it did it again. . .only it never returned to
normal.

Is my alternator going out?  (it's a stock Lucas alternator correct for a 1970
TR6)

1970 TR6 and an 1963 TR4 commuter vehicles.

By the way .. I've got a 1994 Acura Integra that was hit by a deer.
Still works good . . .but it isn't really worth repairing.
Anyone know what I should do with it?
