14.1 was as high as it went

Didn't have time to properly troubleshoot alternator so I bought a rebuild, now the charging system works the way it should. Thanks again.

Ok, touch probes together no resistance. Put a probe on each male tab on the alternator no resistance. From the tab where the blue wire went to case no resistance and same for green. As a side note after giving the tab where the blue wire goes, plugged in in an put key to run. It does get...

Somehow determined the field wires are 'good' What was the test or check ? Used an ohm meter on the wire to check You disconnected the field wires from the alternator. Disconnected the green and blue wires from the alt Connected a test light between the blue wire's field connection and...

So I should not do the bypass of the bulk head connectors? Hopefully have time this weekend to check the wiring. Thanks to everyone for your input.

Just bought a 1971 Duster, 340 4spd. While driving it home noticed the lens on the ammeter was discolored. I touched it, extremely hot and soft. could not see what the gauge was reading. Do you think it is simple as a gauge with huge resistance or something else I should look at. Thanks

Jump the solenoid, see if the starter engages. If so run a hot wire to the coil, jump the solenoid and it should start. If it does start then you know the problem is between the key and the solenoid

I haven't been to the drive in for a few years, maybe 5. between movies I seen cars start to run the defogger.

You are only running the radio so it should last quite a while. Between flicks you could fire the car a run for a few minutes. ACC is one click counter clockwise if I remember correctly.

You may have a short in your horn clock spring.
