I didn't see the original post, but for testing, just connect the
alternator output to the battery + terminal. I'd suggest a 30A fuse in
the line, just for safety.
Since the ammeter may be toast any way, if this works, you can make the
wire permanent, but be sure to use the fuse!
30A fuse will be fine for the stock alternator, but if you have a higher
output alternator, you might want to go up on the fuse rating.
Peace,
Pat
