The C10 has an issue where the ammeter doesn’t seem to work very well. It’s stays centered and deflect only minimally. It also seems to move the wrong direction. If I rev the engine the needle moves slightly toward discharge. My Dad replaced the gauge at one point. Not sure the issue with the original but perhaps true same thing.
I checked the two fuses on the core support and they’re good.
Regarding the needle seemingly moving the wrong direction it’s not possible to simple swap wires because the gauge is fed by one of those flexible circuit boards deals.
I asked my Dad about it and he seems to remember the problem seemed to start many years ago when the alternator voltage regulator stopped working and he replaced the alt with an internally regulated single wire alt. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Is there anyway to bench test an ammeter? See if the gauge moves as it should?
Thanks
