ohkay? not sure why you say not to pull the cable while running..could you give me some reason why not?

got the new replacement alt for "big rusty" (our sons pet name for our pathfinder)..this one is the 70 amp not the 60amp that napa gave me the first.. the battery light is gone..lol..dont know why the 60 amp alt would cause this oddity but replace it with the right one and problem solved..so fyi...dont put a 60 in your pathy if its an automatic trans..and thanks again for all the input guys..

true, but i did some digging around and the 3 lights coming on together is a symptom of a bad alt tested the alt by pulling the pos. battery cable while car was running and it killed the motor so replaced the alt..napa gave me a 60 amp telling me that was the right one..even though it didnt look the same..but it bolted up and the car ran no lights on..so pulled the pos. cable while running and it kept running..so i thought ok..fixed took it for a drive got back home shut it off and the battery light came on..so i Googled around found a similar post ..looked at other alt at other parts stores and they are all saying 70 amp ..so i guessed it had to be the issue since the alt was the only thing different ..but any other ideas guesses or educated guesses hell even a stab in the dark as to why the battery light comes on and stays on after i turn it off ..I'm all ears..

thank you for the help, and i had them order the right one..the 70 amp,, so you dont think that it is the issue? the light was never on before the alt went bad..just after i replaced the alt and only when the car is turn off ..did some wire checks checked for bad connections, corrosion, everything else..even the fuses.. so I'm stumped

ok the other day got home and the brake battery and trans oil temp light came on..so bad alt..right swaped it out runs fin all light are normal but when i shut the thing off my battery light comes on and stays on even after i take the key out..so what the heck??? all fuses look good wires and battery connections look good even cut the positive wire back a bit cuz it looked a little gross..nothing is sticking out at me...the only thing that isnt the same as before is the new alt it plugs in the back and not the side like the original one that came out...so ??..ok so was looking and napa gave me a 60 amp vs. the 70 amp that was waht i took out..is this a big deal is this the problem?

.truck was running great key word was ..now it is running like shit..fuel is ending up in just about every hole in the carb and running really rough??? thought that the float was way high some how so i re set it fuel was on the dot was running fine...till i went to leave this morning for work same thing happened fuel up on top the carb so its getting way way to much fuel .. just pulled the carb off..had fuel in the vac advance line and the carb vent line??? wtf happen?..

bulbs?..just saying..lol

datsunmike...so i already have a tach and want to know where it is hooked up from the factory .which coil and what wire

.all back together..runs awesome thanks for the help....hey i want to change the gear oil in the rear end and the transfer case ..the transmission to if it has it..what do you recommend?

got that ..so does my last post sound correct?

1985 720 z24......is this correct ....that the pin on the cam should be at the 12 o'clock position and shinny link on the cam at the #2 punch mark and the shinny link on the crank at the punch mark .. set the oil pump shaft at the 11:25 position and that should be all set correct..right then just put it back together and it should run..set the idle and we should be good to go..does that sound correct?

way off topic I apologize..ok so just replaced timing chain cap rotor wires and plugs everything new ..pretty sure everything was right but on the test start ..doesn't sound like its getting any spark turns over but doesn't even try to fire NEED SOME HELP BAD
