more ammeter bypass info...

OK, this weekend I get to do some more work on the Duster. I'm going to be running a 8 gauge wire with a 12 gauge fusible link from the charge stud on the alternator to the battery post on the starter relay to get the full voltage from running thru the bulkhead connector. I'm planning on adding a voltmeter in the future as time and funds permit.

Question... Do I still need to remove the wires from the ammeter and connect them together or should I leave them alone????

I'm aware that the ammeter will read low being that all of the juice ain't flowing to it anymore and I'm okay with that 8).
