excessive ammeter fluctuation

[sam z]

This is the symptom listed in the service manual. It is what I'm dealing with.

Another gremlin upon reassembly of the car. Ammeter bounces around quite
a bit. Service manual basically says clean and tighten all connections or adjust
voltage regulator.

Anything in particular that I should check, or just basically everything?

my stone age amp meter toasted....by- passed it.....now volt meter....all fixed

also how are your block to frame/block to firewall grounds??....maybe your regulator is frying

I checked the car. Block to firewall ground was not installed. It was placed
elsewhere (block to inner fender).
