It was one of my methods of testing as to whether or not the generator was working. I have now installed a "used" generator with the same results when I disconnected the neg battery cable (positive ground).
The gauge on the dash indicates the installed generator is working but I was surprised to find that the car died when disconnecting the battery. I thought it would run.
Seems to me "somewhere" in my history I have done this before and the car continued to run but that must have been with an alternator.
