sitting on fence about amp meter

so i'm going to bypass the amp gauge,i was at cruise night last night,a old gent was looking at my car.he knew a lot about these old dodges.he said amp gauge bypass was the way to go.i told him how wanted another amp gauge to convert to volt gauge with sunpro gauge he said he has a use one,he went home,came back and sold me the whole cluster for ten dollers!so now have all the parts to start my bypass project,with out takeing the car out use for too long.
