Paul, try this......

1. Connect ground cable to negative batt post.
2. Disconnect positive cable from positive batt post.
3. Set meter according to link provided for amp reading.
4. Position probes inline with one probe touching positive cable,
and one probe touching positive batt post.

Amp reading?

Black meter lead to the positive battery cable, red lead to the the positive post on the battery. Negative battery cable hooked up to the battery. Meter on the 10A setting, red lead in the 10A dc spot on the meter and the black to common.
Reading: varied from 19.7 - 19.9 but I was having trouble holding them absolutely tight and not moving. Kind of sounded like there was a thunk through the radio speaker (inside the car somewhere) each time I pressed the lead to the battery post. Everything was closed up including the windows so can't be absolutely sure.
