went out to my 1965 International Travelall Ambulance this morning & discovered a dead battery. Its been 2 weeks since Ive driven it. Hooked up my portable jump box & it started. Let it warm up and started driving it when i noticed the amp guage pegged on charge. got to the car show, the truck sat for a few hours & it did restart. Amp guage still reading on the high side. Ive got the battery out and on the charger overnight. I'll have it tested tomorrow since its 5 years old. My gut feeling regarding the amp guage is that the voltage regulator is going bad. Should I just replace it or is there a diagnostic test to tell for sure? its a 1965 with the 304cid V8
