Whats up?!
I just finished the rewire on my 1940 President. Everything is working perfectly except for the ammeter. Before the rewire, that gauge would move along with the amount of throttle i gave it. Bouncing between 10-35amps. Now after the rework, it is staying steady around 10 while driving. I dont know to much about these old school charging systems, but is it possible i have a wire mixed up somewhere? While it was running, I unhooked a battery cable (Mindset is that on alternator equipped vehicles, the vehicle runs on the alternator) and the engine died. Signs of a faulty generator?
Any insight would be appreciated!! Thanks!!
