Unfortunately I already tried to directly ground the alternator case to no avail.Long shot
Try grounding alternator to battery negative, if you have jumper cables use it from alternator adjuster bolt to battery negative terminal
See if that allows engine to run smoother
No, ammeter working or not shouldn't effect anything, but would be good to have it working
Im convinced I've got some kind of wild coincidence going on here. I've just got to figure out how the alternator which I've verified is functioning as intended is having such a drastic effect on the ignition system.
