Factory ammeter

Mines Bypassed And still hooked up! I ran my Alternator Feed wire to my Starter Relay first and then a piece of Fusible Link Wire to the
old spot for it on the Bulkhead. It would still show a Discharge thus Working... but it is no longer impeding the flow to charge my battery.
People disconnect them because they're probably rated for about 15Amps and we run 60Amp alternator's now, So...
I put a Volts Gauge on the Dash hooked to the Cig Lighter, I can Rely on that.
In this Pic it show's how I Also ran an 8gauge wire (fused at both ends) from the Alternator directly to the battery for charging.

Running a volt gauge out of the lighter is a pretty slick idea.
