    wiring for ampmeter

    1962 wiring for ampmeter. I wired as the GM wiring diagram showed but when we started the engine it would discharge as it was given gas. It would appear alright if the engine was idling, What did I do wrong? Thanks in advance. Phil

    Phil, Did you POLARIZE the regulator? Dave

      I'll go out on a limb here and say that I THINK that several of the wiring diagrams published are incorrect. I had this problem with my 54, and with several other "solid axle" cars that I've helped friends restore. If you've polarized the generator correctly, I'd try switching the wires.

      Hopefully somebody else will "chime in" and correct me if I'm wrong, or "pat me on the back" if I'm remembering correctly. Chuck

        Consider yourself patted on the back. The wiring diagram is wrong, the connections are reversed.
