[DeTomaso] WeatherPack connector NOT

[PersoCaddy at aol.com]

Hi, well it is not the connections. I redid them and they are  perfect. But 
new symptom, car starts instantly, but I noticed the ammeter was 1  division to 
charge for, 15 years it was always on zero with my  Ultiama  battery, but I 
replaced the battery with a duralast 3 weeks ago. Now the car  runs fine for 20 
minutes, this I have timed and this is the time required for  the next thing 
to happen. At idle in my drive way tach bounces from 1,000 to  4,000 rpms 
indicated, and the ammeter needle is jumping in time with the tach !  ( 1 div. 
back and forth, in charge direction) I shut off the engine with the  key, and it 
stops normally, now 3 minutes later I start the car and put it back  in 
garage. Could it be the coil ? I don't want to shotgun the fix by just  replacing 
the Alt, Voltage reg., Coil and distr. This is getting personal now  and I want 
to figure it out. I guess its the engineer in me. Happy 4th to all.  Pat
