Correction: My old ammeter /may/ have a shunt resistor. I don't recall
one, but I haven't looked at it in years; I'll see if I can find it in
my parts stash. I didn't install it because it appeared full current
could pass through it, and IIRC I figured 14ga wire or bigger might be
needed, and would have to be routed through the scuttle and under the
fascia.

FWIW: I got an ammeter for my BJ8 years ago; it's the only one
I've seen for Healeys--it is a Smiths--but I've been leery of
installing it as it has to go in series with one of the terminals
on the voltage regulator--no shunt--and AFAIK it carries full
dis/charging current (possible major smoke producer). If his has a
shunt, it's likely an aftermarket and he probably needs to contact
the manufacturer (but it's likely for 12V systems and,
conceivably, all he as to do is wire it backwards for pos. gnd.).
Getting the fuel gauge to work properly can be an involved
process; MGA Guru has the most comprehensive info I've seen: <a

help. I have the car since March 2019 , I bought it
from a dealer / estate sale in Benecia Cal. Â I have
3-4 tech/wiring questions that my Flagstaff Az
mechanic could not solve. Â I love the car and am
disappointed that he could not solve the problems.
Can you send me a few email addresses that I can
send my issues to ? . I have an electrical
background but no one has been able to help me.
