OK, so i replaced the battery with a Deka small unit in the duke of oil (TR4A), 
and installed a new gear reduction starter at the same time. everything seemed 
both hunky and dory. car started right up and sounded normal, then i noticed 
that when revved, the ammeter showed progressing discharge! ammeter was at 
about zero until revved when it went further into the negative amps (to about 
-15amps) with the increasing revs, much like it would when charging except 
showing a discharge. i double checked that the batt was in with neg ground (its 
been neg ground for years). i even checked the polarity with a voltmeter and 
the batt markings were correct! wtf has happened here? I can re-polarize the 
generator and im guessing all will be well, but how did this occur?
baffled again in norcalnick
