My First Mopar- 1966 Barracuda project
Yes. If I use the stock harness I will be rewiring it, eliminating the need for the ammeter wires running through the bulkhead and making the necessary provisions to ensure the wiring to the 2000’s alternator is correctly changed and not going to burn down the car. (I learned quite a bit early on in my high school hot rodding days after a couple V8 S10 mishaps and gremlins.)
Much like my tachometer solution, I’ll be utilizing the stock ammeter face and needle with the guts of a new voltmeter with the same sweep. I’ll post plenty of pics when I get to those gauge mods.
Should be very similar to this ‘67 Dart that was modified. 12.5 v will read on the “D” side and when running 14.6 v or so would be on the “C” portion of the gauge.
Thanks for looking out, I appreciate the tips along the way.
