Not sure yet if I have an alternator or a generator on my 1959 Apache. After starting the truck many times since I bought it, the battery finally didn't have enough to turn the engine over. The gauge did show a slight discharge. I checked the two leads from the alt/gen while running for voltage and found none. Is this a valid test and what should the voltage have been? Time for a new/rebuilt alt/gen? Thanx for any help.
