'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![/QUOTE

like said, I jumpered the VR wires together, and get 14.7 and 15.7 at the alt and batt espectively, but looking at amp gauge it shows discharge as I reve it. why??????????

as usual, I hauled this car home as a roller. I have never been into instrument cluster yet. out of time this am, but I will try to check some more things out this afternoon.
