Our family collectible car seems to be running off of its battery instead of the alternator. The amp guage is negative and gets worse when an accessory (headlights, blower, etc.) are on regardless of how fast the engine is reving. The voltage is the same for when the car is off or running.
So far, we changed the alternator with one that was rebuilt by a professional shop, installed a new voltage regulator (which was mounted on the firewall in lieu of being inside the alternator), and installed a new battery. Also, the cables from the battery are very clean and the ground connection to the engine block is clean.
This is one of the reasons why I prefer woodworking these days.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
