'64 dart amp gage

going back to what 67dart273 said about the VR, I took the wires lose from it, jumpered them together. reving the engine the amp gauge shows big time discharge, but when I put the meter on the alt and batt it read 15.7 and 14.7 respectively. I will take one of the alt to town tomorrow and see if anyone at O Reillys can test a single field alt.
I meant to say this car is a 63!
