Sometimes the ammeter can be the problem.  Mine was shorted out and draining
the battery (a long time before my recent electrical drain problem).  I
wouldn't trust a 37 year old gauge, you might try replacing it.  It could
just be the gauge, try to eliminate the simplest problems first.

I have a 1967 Scout 800 w/196 engine.  My ammeter needle is bouncing rapidly
back and forth and is sometimes settling on the discharge side and staying
there.  I haven't began to work on this yet.  I just replaced the Alternator
and the voltage regulator.  The needle bouncing was occuring before the new
parts and still is.  Any comments where to start looking.  I do plan to
replace the constant voltage regulator.

Thanks,
