Re: 56 Exec. Generator to Alternator

I wasn't clear in "totally eliminate the ammeter". It will still be there but with the alternator feeding the battery directly it will never see the charging. In fact, I believe it will read only discharge all the time since it would still be in the circuit feeding the rest of the car. Pat might confirm or elaborate on just what it does read.

I am not following what the fellow means that the ammeter would still work -- just read inaccurately -- with a jumper across the terminals. I don't see how since to my mind that would be equivalent to putting both wires on the same terminal but I'm sometimes dense and need to be educated. When you do it please tell me what or how it does read.
