Birdman, I did not remove the distributor when insalling the Pertronix.
My battery was fairly new so I charged it using a home charger and it's back to 100%.
Then I installed a new electronic replacement regulator from Birdnest. This regulator was definitly different than the one I had earlier that I bought from Thunderbird Headquarters. It was fatter and only partially chrome. Anyways, it definitly made a difference in terms of ammeter behavior.
Now the ammeter stays on the Charge side most of the time, which is good. It only goes towards Discharge when I'm at a stop with the headlights and breaklights on. But it is wiggling a lot now whereas before it was steady. It wiggles the biggest distance back and forth when I'm going about 25 mph with my foot off the gas. I'm not sure what is causing this. Loose connection maybe?
I'm still curious how other people's amp gauge behaves? Any wiggling?
