IML: 73 Ampmeter Gauge

[Tim Durrer <tdkd99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Maybe Dick might have some insight in this. I checked
the website archives but could not come up with my
exact problem.  

My ampmeter is not working. I have 12 volts on both
the back and red wires on the back of the gauge. My
ohmmeter says I have continuity in the gauge. When
connect a test lamp in series with gauge it moves.

So why does it not work connected to the car? 

Connections are correct and tight. This ones got me.
I really would like to know what my 33 year old
alternator is doing, (or not doing)! My voltmeter
shows 14.5 volts at the battery with the engine
running and the headlights brighten when I rev the
engine, so the alternator must be working (for now).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Tim
