Re: Ammeter Oddity (score: 1): Author: Victor Hughes <v.hughes@student.canberra.edu.au>; Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2000 12:03:00 +1100; I assume you've 'converted' (ie swapped the wiring round) on your ammeter for positive ground? - otherwise it will read the wrong way (neg. instead of pos. ) according to the sparkie I spoke to....; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00350.html (7,720 bytes)

Actually, it was all running fine before I went to put the headers on and had to swap to a new smaller alternator to fit. T; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00351.html (7,565 bytes)

Actually I have had it tested off the car at two different places, both reporting 14.7, and my voltmeter on the car is showing 13.9 (allowing for bad English wires I'm sure).

I think your alt and battery are just fine but the Ammeter is in the wrong part of the circuit. A few simple tes; /html/alpines/2000-11/msg00372.html (9,174 bytes)
