JSabah Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 Got my car started for my 1st time (and for the 1st time in 21+ years) I which I could post a video. I didn’t have to many issues before start up but I did notice that my ammeter reads Discharge when I was raving the car and charge when at idle. Seems to be backwards.... is it? And if so is the fix as easy as reversing the ammeter wires? Thanks Quote
greg g Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 Is your car still 6 v POS ground? Quote
Sam Buchanan Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 Congratulations! Yes, reverse the wires on the ammeter. Disconnect your battery first. Quote

That was my hunch....and yes, I’ll disconnect the battery first .... only gonna make that mistake once ? Quote
greg g Posted February 8, 2020 Report Posted February 8, 2020 What Sam sez! Did you also swap the terminals on the coil and add aballast resistor to the IGN to coil wire? Quote
