Seems to be, but I would verify the wiring as well. If it is wired backwards, which end? at the meter or where you pick up the Voltage. Let's say you reverse the wires at the meter and all works well and actually you had reverse-wired the other wire ends, you'll have a case of 2 wrongs making a right, until you have to trouble shoot it later or worse, the guy you sell it to and didn't tell because you didn't know.
If you're going to work on these kinds of cars, not trying to sound harsh here, you either need to learn some electrical basics or know someone who does.
I'll certainly help if I can.

You're kidding right?
I put myself through college as an auto mechanic. Today was the first day we put the juice to the car. No blown fuses and I know the amp meter is backwards. ERA had some issues with the light relay in the past... more or less I was wondering if I happened to get one of those... My question was to Bob to see if he knew of others with similar problems. Voltmeter? What's that?
I have to say that the ERA wiring harness is impeccable to say the least. Those guys did their homework. This had to be the easiest wiring of a car I’ve ever done… perhaps, too easy, which caused me to screw up something. Or not.
