[TR] TR6 ammeter

[Joe]

I don't know what is correct but on my 72 it always runs a slight charge 
while the car is running.  If I turn on a load (mostly the lights) I'll 
get a quick spike then it will settle down to where it was before.  I'll 
have to pay closer attention but I don't think I have a difference on 
the gauge between start up and once the car is "warm".  Of course with 
the car off I have a negative reading with anything on.  (Again, lights 
mostly).
