Default Re: Hello All Been lurkin for a few week ? about ammeter and alternator

I cannot travel to you to help right now but I posted what I did to get a car running that had sat outside for 5 years. See https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=329463

You have a short somewhere. Disconnect all the wiring and use your multi meter to find the short.

Google the alternator part number to learn if it is 12 V or 6 V. What voltage battery is installed? The 6 volt battery will have 3 caps on top for filling with distilled water. The 12 volt battery will have 2 caps that fill 3 cells each for a total of 6 cells.
