[DeTomaso] Ammeter and voltage regulator question

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.  I put the multimeter across the
battery teminals and it puts out 14 volts.  The ammeter needle does move
when a large load is applied.  When I start the car, the needle swings
negative but quickly returns to zero.  Same with turning on the radiator
fans or interior fan.  At idle, with the fans, the needle swings slightly
negative (within the needle width) and goes slightly positive as soon as
a little RPM is introduced.  I put nearly 200 miles on the car this
weekend without any trouble so I guess I was just being paranoid.

Thanks Again,
Dan Jones
