Re: Alternator spikes

Most likely Volts Regulator, If your alt is older then 72 it Reg. is on the body motor bay. If it 73 and newer in the ALT. The Reg maybe starting to go bad on it's way out. I would keep eye on and get it tested, could blow up the Batt for over charging at worst melt wiring or burn up ALT, or ruin batt. Pretty easy to fix or if you can't get a new ALT if that part bad.
