Thanks for the replies . . .
Jerry . . . I will replace the 8v battery. Any suggestions? What is a good 6v battery, where to obtain, etc? I looked into the Optima last year but looked as though it would not fit well in the (recently rebuilt) below floor carrier? Also, I would welcome any other insights from your many years of experience. There are always varied (sometimes opposing) opinions on any subject on the www and and in any forum but, as stated above, I am out of my element on this problem.
J.F.. . . . Yes the ammeter is out of the truck. Gauges need to be refurbed and I need to paint the dash. It will be some weeks before all that is finished.
Gord & Tim . . . Thanks for the wiring diagram, that is one area of the oldcarmanualproject literature I had not seen. I have a wiring diagram print but was unable to locate it yesterday. I see that the ammeter to battery is the 10 ga red, should be easy enough to replace. Also see another 10 ga red which splits to ignition switch and voltage regulator. Could they or the regulator have been affected?
All . . . Do I correctly assume that, after replacing the ammeter to battery wire, I should be able to connect the two wires which had been at the ammeter to complete the circuit and then have power to lights and motor?
Again,my thanks for all help,
Dennis
