Problem #1: My new 35 amp ammeter never indicates more than 8 amps(+-) even 
when the lights, blower and electric fan are on.

Problem #2: In addition, when these are all on, my tach will oscillate 
wildly and my fuel gauge and temp gauge will read low. Voltage at the 
solenoid will be 14 vac engine running no accessories on dropping to 12.3 
vac with the above accessories on.  Does this indicate a poor connection 
somewhere or a failing alternator (after market Nippon Denso).

In spit of all this, the engine always run well and the battery remains 
fully charged.

All the best,
