My thoughts as well. I will pull it and have it tested, I had issues with it over the winterso probably time for a new one.

I apologize, my description is all wrong. Alternator is constantly CHARGING at 6 amps there is no draw when driving. Before yesterday the amp meter would go back to zero after a few minutes of driving. .Amp meter at zero when the car is off.

Yes you are correct, I thought maybe when I turned on the lights while driving the amp meter might change, it does not. It stays at a steady 6 amps

It reads zero with the car off, goes to about -4 amps if I turn on the lights. This is normal for it and back to zero when they are off. It's been fine for 3 years, just started this yesterday. I normally start it, give it some gas and alternator kicks in reads high for a few and goes to zero...

Heres where my confusion is, with the key on and the car is not running there is no draw. I am not sure how to troubleshoot it. My common sense says if there is a draw on the battery it would occur when the car is running or not as long as the key is on. My common sense has bit me before though.

Bad terminology on my part. I turned the disconnect so the battery was disconnected from the electrical system the amp meter went back to zero. Turned "on" the disconnect and the draw came back. I drove over 50 miles today and it never went to zero as it has done in the past. Also with the...

The battery was at 6.9 volts with car off, low ans high idle. I think I verified the problem, for kicks I turned the disconnect on and the draw went away. I think this verifies the battery issue. Am I correct?

I have a 6 volt alternator on my car. Yesterday when driving home I noticed about a 6 amp draw on the amp meter. Turning on the headlights did not change the reading. When key is off there is no draw on the meter. Battery going?

There will not be any new parts vendors at the Roundup except for Classic Wood Products. I also understand there will be somewhere with cast iron brakes, shoes..etc. There will be a nice swap meet and there are usually new parts sold there.

There is not much adjustment that can be done on a 7 tooth. I just upgraded my 29 with a 2 tooth, it makes a huge difference. The bottom end is common on all 2 tooth columns, you need the upper 29 tube for your car. I had to get everything separate, all the vendors sell the 29 keyed wheel. The...

I have a very nice set of 30/31 complete headlight buckets with Ford script.Reflectors are also included but are in ok shape. These are an older repro set with rivets on the inside versus screws as in the new ones. Better pictures available on request. $250 OBO

It's a tapered pin so make sure you are pounding in the correct direction. It should break loose
