Peabody - Your ammeter and voltmeter readings are inconsistent so it's uncertain what's going on. A few questions:

1 - Is the ammeter is working correctly? With the engine stopped, it should indicate discharge when you turn on the ign switch or the lights.

2 - Where are you taking your voltmeter reading? Best place is directly across the battery posts. Next best is at the regulator "BAT" terminal and a GOOD ground.

3 - Is your analog voltmeter reading correctly? If it's been dropped, or if lightning has stuck near it, it can appear to work but will give false readings (don't ask how I know this…) Try a reading across a fresh flashlight battery (should show 1.5 volts) and your car battery (should show about 12.6 with the engine off).

Post back what you learn - I'll help if I can!
