Thanks dude. Every problem I solve must be logical. Many people told me it's the alternator just buy another aftermarket one and be done with it. I just had to find out which component failed. I knew it was not the alternator b/c it was producing good voltage and neither Kragen nor Autozone could test the alternator to be bad. I suspected the false alarm from the regulator b/c I am suffering from no ill effect of the electrical system. I ran full lights and AC without problem. Finally I put in a beat up broken plug regulator and the light goes off. Well the 2 used alternators I bought from Ebay were bad. So they both are sending me replacements, thus I will put in a better regulator then. One had a bad bearing from just spinning with my hand. The other had a broken regulator as I opened it up and saw a solder point broken.
Thanks for all of the help here.

That is great news, Dude! Congrats for your perseverance with it. By the way, after my project I find it very useful to monitor the voltage in the electrical system with this handy and inexpensive voltmeter that is plugged in the cigarette lighter socket. I bought it on Amazon and it actually shows the voltage with two decimals instead of one as the picture shows. You might consider getting one, too.
