When I rev the engine the battery light comes on also the charge gage shows high charge. The radio also goes out. Until it revs down. Everything is find then.

It sounds like your alternator is overcharging, the opposite of what usually happens. This is most likely caused by a faulty voltage regulator. What I recommend is taking it to a nationally recognized parts store and have them check the alternator for overcharging. IF this is the case, it could burn up many of the electrical items or cause a fire.

Let me know what you find.
