I think that there might have been some confusion in my reply to your 
alternator e-mail (which you might be reading after this one).  The coil 
in parallel to the light was shown in the Z wiring diagram, not the 
Alpine diagram.  Also, I mentioned that the light finds ground through 
the coils of the Z alternator when the alternator is not charging.  This 
might be the purpose of the simulator.  That is, whether it is true or 
the Sunbeam people thought it was true, the coils on the Lucas 
distributor might not provide the ground necessary, so the simulator may 
provide it.  Just a thought.
