Asking this for a friend..
He put a 8 volt battery and a new regulator in his 54. The generator was checked by a reputable shop and the regulator was set for 8 volts.
When the car is started the gen light flickers at idle. Once the engine is revved a little the light goes out. BUT when RPM is futher increased the gen light comes back on very bright.
This is a stock 54 and my friend has owned it for over 25 years. It is very well maintained, kept inside and driven occassionally.

If you have any ideas please PM me as I don't check this forum often

Thanks in advance. !
 
If anything has been done to the regulator or the generator, I would re-polarize the generator. Then see if the light goes out.
