Hi,

I am just checking out the ammeter bouncing thing on #5891. Have already installed a new alternator and regulator during my engine rebuild one year ago. the needle kept on bouncing. I have also swapped the ammeter with another one from a friend´s pantera. no success, also this one bounces in #5891. Have checked the wires; all ok.

Nice waving needle on you tube? Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kws7IUvvoN0
or here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcW9g6aphTU

So next step would be to install a shunt resistor.
Do you have any experiences which type of shunt should be used? My alternator and regulator are similar to stock types.

Thks all!!
Wolfgang
