    I agree 100% with the guys about ditching the ammeter. If something goes haywire with the guage, no charge. A voltmeter tells really all you need to know. When I switch the ign on I show about 12v. After I crank the motor up, it jumps to 13.5v. If it don't jump up, somethings wrong. And you can hook it to pretty much anything with 12v somewhere under the dash. I've never seen it but I've heard of ammeters shorting out to ground (through the light circuit) and causing an electrical fire. That would suck.
