I have read numerous references to Nacho-RT74’s parallel wiring diagram that allows you to keep your ammeter, but eliminate the risk of burning up your car. Can someone please provide me with the link to the diagram?
Thank you!Ammeter to Voltmeter Conversion -- Existing Wire Question
Starting with post #59 will give you some ideas for sure.....
Yep! Burnt the wiring in the '69 Fury II when I was 16. Stuck VR and I forgot to throw on the headlights to bounce it back to reality. Fire started off the + feed right behind the firewall bulkhead...no where near the amp meter.Y'kow, I can count the number of burnt up cars I've heard about in the last 55 years on one hand and have 4 fingers left over! And that one had nothing to do with the ammeter !!! And I've never seen one in a wrecking yard either.
I understand what you mean. I’m 60 and have owned Mopars all of my life, and, other than overheated blower motor wires, never had an issue. But now I have a ‘68 GTS that I added AC, electric fan, sound system, and Gear Vendors control to. The black wire from the ammeter has melted the insulation and the bulkhead connector. And fried the wire itself and the connectors.Y'kow, I can count the number of burnt up cars I've heard about in the last 55 years on one hand and have 4 fingers left over!
