Thanks. I've been reading threads and looking at diagrams on this site for a long time and somehow had the idea that only the alternator wire went to ammeter + and only the ammeter - wire hooked to the starter main post.
Guess I'll buy some new 10 guage wire and terminals to redo some of that when I pull the wheel and dash this weekend. I'll check the ammeter posts as well since the negative amps doesn't read right. I'm sure I have the alternator hooked to the post that is on the same side as the plus/right side as you read the guage and the starter wire is on the left/negative side of the guage. But then if the load wire goes to the ignition switch from the gage + terminal before it would show a discharge with lights on and engine off, then I have it wired bass ackwards.
Guess I'll try to see if that is a 10si or not. Can't read anything but Delco-Remy. It is close to Bob's pic but below the "1" spade there is an "R" and below the "2" spade there is an "F". The mounting bolts are 90 degrees off from Bob's pic. Guess I'll try to get a pic to post. I know the voltage went from a moving 40-42v to a steady 15v when I shorted the #1R to the case and got a spark. Hope I didn't burn anything out. I can add a wire from the alternator to the key switch later without pulling the dash.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
