Thanks, The VR and brushes are less than 1 year old, but it's a cheapo unit and not a Bosch. The alternator is certainly the original from 1985 w/280K miles, so it's had a looooong life.
The charging lamp is working fine and no changes when I use a jumper to add a temporary additional new ground.
It does seem to be cold related as this was the first 20deg day of the winter. Both in the morning and evening there was no charging at all for the first 5 minutes and then all of a sudden my volt meter shot from 10 to 14.
I live only a few miles from work, so a breakdown would be unpleasant but not terrible. Assuming I wasn't using any electric appliance, how long could I expect the car to run w/o any charging from the alternator?
