It took a while, but I now know my alternator was failing. I bought a new PowerMaster 7078 75-amp unit, installed my serpentine pulley, installed the alternator and tested the car.

No more flickering ammeter, the battery is in a constant state of charge when the car is running and the ammeter gauge will drop slightly when additional load is added. It's perfect!

Hopefully the really cool weather can hold off until I get a few miles on the thing yet this fall.

Appreciate the assistance Patrick . . .
