So I finally got my roadster running ,Electrolock and a bad coil made it interesting Not to mention forgetting to reinstall the rotor that fell out and landed on the fender . I was wondering about the way the ammeter is hooked up . ON my sedan the main lead from the generator is connected to the left side contact, On the roadster it connected to the right side ,The ammeter can only fit in one way. Do I have a polarity issue and if so how would I change it?

Ok thanks , I have a positive ammeter reading when the car is running. Just seemed strange that the wires on two different cars are backwards to one another. Both cars are negative ground.

yup that's exactly how I have it wired. Still need to connect the wire to the fuel gauge.
