MGB Alternator Problems.

[David_Moore@kaoinfo.com (David Moore)]

     My car had been running real well until Monday Morning.  Only possible 
     leading indicator was a slight glow of the dashlight at night.
     
     However the car now has mutiple simptoms.
     
     1)  won't idle at all.
     2)  Batteries won't hold a charge
     
     Car had been professionally tuned and smogged within last 30 days.
     
     Don't know what to think.
     
     If I leave it on the charger all night it doesn't get below 5 amps on 
     the charger guage.
     
     By the end of the day I need a jump to get home!
     
     Any opinions?
     
     Also what is the story with 5 lead alternators and 3 lead alternators.
     
     Thanks,
