Re: What is this red light?

That light works in place of the diode that 1project2many mentioned. I'd leave it as is because it works and when it goes out you know that the alternator is charging. It does a job and you don't have to feed it or carry water to it so life is great.

My ongoing truck projects:
48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
