Okay all.... Here's what I did and my findings....
1) Tightened the Voltage Stabilizer connections... crimped and compressed the female connector for a tight fit... It's definitely better...
2) I pulled Fan 2 wire out of fuse box.. compressed the wire connection as well as the female connector .. reinstalled it.
3) Checked the 10V Fuel Gauge step down wires.. spread them apart to assure no opportunity for shorting. There is at least a 1/16 inch space between tabs..
Then...
- Measured the battery voltage before starting: 12.6-12.7V
... Started the car .. at idle cold with choke ~1200 RPM ..
- Lights are ON (Always ON when car is running) .. Ammeter is slightly Positive (Right) of Zero, similar to original Pic1 in first post.
Battery Voltage measured 14.6-14.7V ...
So .. I think my Alternator and charging is working... my Ammeter is most likely a little out of calibration...
Will run the car tomorrow and measure battery voltage after it warms up.. with Lights ON and Fans running ... then report back the results...
I'll also must add a new Turn Signal Relay since I broke the cheap case..
Again .. many thanks for the guidance and advice!
