hello All,
I have a new issue on my '69 that just developed. I started the car for the first time since last fall yesterday. Previously, whenever I started the car the, the ammeter would go way left on cranking and then as soon as it started would go way right and then move to the center. Now, cranking goes left and at start the needle goes halfway to the center and stops. It did, after a few seconds, rebound and go to the right as before and then act normal. Voltage when running is 14+ volts and 12+ volts when off. Could this be indicative of a failing voltage regulator. This is the original alternator that was rebuilt many years ago. As always, thanks for your help.
