bulkhead Ammeter connectors
I did this mod:
Catalog
I only did this because all my gauges are aftermarket and I used the voltmeter in the gauge kit instead.
I did have an ammeter issue in my old 1984 Dodge Ramcharger. The wire did get hot and melted the insulation and part of the gauge but that was mainly due to the voltage regulator issue, it was overcharging the the system and a hodge podge wiring from the previous owner.
But again it's the only issue I had of all the cars I used or owned:
1983 Dodge W150: No issues.
1978 W100: No issues
1974 Plymouth Duster no issues when I was using the original gauges.
1978 Jeep Cherokee Chief no issues.
1983 Jeep Cherokee Chief no issues.
1988 Dodge W150 no issues.
1978 Dodge D100 I borrowed (Old Army svc truck) no issues, in fact it was the only one that actually worked out of all them.
My brother's old 1984 Trans-am had no issues.
My son's 1978 Camaro, no issues.
My gauges look like this now: (Sorry cruddy pictures)
