Mark, if it moves towards the (+) direction when the lights are turned on, that means either the ammeter is wired backwards ( unusual to find) or the battery is charged backwards (very common) or the battery is installed with (-) post going to ground. Put a voltmeter on the (+) & (-) posts & see if the polarity is correct (if you put red lead to (+) & black lead to (-) it should read +5-6.5v. If it won't read or reads - 5-6.5v it is charged backwards. (if it is charged backwards run it completly down then charge it correctly. Note: you will probably have to re-polorize the generator. ( I can't remember if those old fords have a (+) or (-) controlled field in them). Maybe someone can remember how to polorize those old (+) ground generators. PS, if your battery is charging backwards that could explain your short battery life.
