Bob - when I briefly started my car (782) this weekend it appeared to be discharging before a coolant leak curtailed running it longer. My belt was not very snug and the battery was a little low from testing. I tightened the belt and charged the battery so maybe that will take care of it when I can try it again. I think the ammeter is hooked up right as turning on the lights shows it discharging. I didn't have the presence of mind to see if the ignition light was on.

This voltage regulator has a lot more leads than I'm used to on my old Plymouth - any hints to easily check the system out to pinpoint alternator vs regulator charging problems? I'm using a Powermaster stock type alternator.

thanks
