..hi,the red generator/alternater light came on in my '70 square yesterday for the first time in 3 and a half years of daily driving,it has not affected the drive in any way and has started up this morning no problem,both the red lights are coming on before i turn her over which is good i was just wondering if its gonna be ok to drive to work tomorrow and go to my mechanic on the way home or not drive it at all?,any thoughts?,cheers!
