I need some help yu'all.  Seans 69 1600 has developed an eratic charge
symptom, which left him with a dead battery.  The charge goes from, what
has been normal on his car,  a top positive charge of  10 on the meter,
to maybe 5 negative.  His car has been showing 0 when he turns on the
lights,regardless of rpm.  Is that normal? Now it goes from 5 positve to
negative 15. Sometimes now with nothing on but the engine it will drop
to negative 3 maybe, and if I raise the rpm it will jump to maybe 5
positve, hold that when back at idle for a few seconds, then go negative
again.   What should I look for?  Also, what is the  most powerful
alternator that came in these cars? I  have read of some conversions to
GM single wire? How hard is it to convert to that?
Thanks in advance for your help.
