need help/ not charging..I think

Thanks Green1.....if what you say is correct...it just may be the problem

I dissassembled the guage cluster tonight and ....
the ampmeter is junk...the needle fell out because the guts are pretty much gone....

luckily I found I have several other..... leftovers... and will install one ...just to see how it acts. I never drove the car when I got it, so this could have easily been NFG from years ago.

I guess I'd better stand-by and be alert when I fire it back up...just in case....however I've already put a couple hundred miles on it since the ...lets say ....transformation

thanks for the assistance
Denny
