Felow listers, Dave Terrick here wit news of the ghost of Jos. Lucas
himself...
A non-lister TDC member called me about a 5 to 3 wire conversion he was
doing on his 70 TR6. Said that his ammeter registered a 30-40 amp cahrge
after start.
After going over the "cahrging surge right after the draw surge..."
discussion we agreed to change gauges. The second guage also registered
about 30 amps and- now both of them agree - with the battery disconnected
- still reads a 10 amp charge!!!!
After much playing around, we deterined that the gauge was posessed. Out
of the bezel, the gauge read 0 amps. As soon as it was fitted to the
panel, it showed a charge! Herb ultimately bent the pointer but I still
thinl Mr. Lucas is lurking... any ideas?!?!?
