My 300 u has an uncompleted 12 v conversion. I decided that I think I'm just gonna rewire the whole thing. I took the alternator to the local shop and they put bearings in it and tested it. Its a Delco CS130 and supposed to be able to output ... I don't remember ...80+ amps. Now I know the engine doesn't turn all that fast, but I assume this alternator is a good deal hotter than the 6 v generator.
I took it home and hooked it back up and it didn't work. I ran a wire straight to the battery and it works, so something is wrong in the wiring. The ammeter hasn't worked since I got it and it seems to be "pegged" ...I imagine that's probably where the charging trouble lies.
I think if I installed a voltmeter, I should probably install another fuse. I think the only fuse in the system is in the lights. I think the voltmeter would probably be more useful, and although I am not a correct police (by a long shot) ...I would like to get something that looks like it belongs.
I have been thinking and I believe a volt meter would be more useful anyway... but if I did decide to reinstall an ammeter, would the output of the alternator be enough higher to cook an 'original" type ammeter?

I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
