One more thing, I had to turn the steering all the way left or right, don't remember.
I have Ireland stage II suspension.

Be sure to take off your distributor cap, at least, some say to pull it.
I had to jack up the front of the engine until the distributor was really close to firewall, I was warned "you will break the cap", I would have.
Doing the 5 speed swap.
Ditto on the seals, what's your clutch like?

I bought the TEP suggested Carter pump, and it has worked fine for 6 years or so, I added a relay and fuse with separate power, using the coil wire to operate the relay. I avoided the clearance problem by using the ram flo air filter. Also used a tii distributor, not familiar with the automatic linkage.

Not sure if you are saying the L light is dim before you start the car or after.

In any case you need a dvm, with the car idling or revved to about 1k rpm measuring across the battery should read between 13-14volts, if it's under 13 something is wrong.

If you can start the car easily probably your ground and positive cable are good.

Measure from the alternator positive (output) lead to the positive battery terminal, this should be less than a volt, with the engine running, this checks the wiring from the alt to batt.

Also be sure all connections to the regulator are clean and fit snugly, same with the alt, do any of the wires have broken strands, do any of the wires look like they've been hot?
