Placed an alternator in the truck, but my dash guages (which I want to look original) read the amps instead of volts. Is there a hidden way to alter the incoming to have the ampmeter read volts. Hear

I'd like any info also as I'm in the same situation. If you don't have a high output alternator (over like 65 amps) you could still use it as an amp gauge I think. oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and G

A word of caution when converting to an alternator. The typical alternator puts out twice as many amps (or more) than the stock generator. The stock gauge cannot handle the extra amps or will handle

Amps is Amps, Volts are Volts. Cant read both off same gauge. The Amp gauge in my 54 still reads amps off an alternator. I connected the two 10gauge wires that used to be on the volt regulator to do

United Speedometer http://www.speedometershop.com/ does the voltmeter to replace an AD ammeter thing, but they are not cheap. Amps is Amps, Volts are Volts. Cant read both off same gauge. The Amp gau

Amps is Amps, Volts are Volts. Cant read both off same gauge. <snip> Yes you can, I used to do it all the time with old power supplies. You make a switch arrangement that switches from a shunt resis

Well yes, but no. Yes, amps is amps, and volts is volts, but gauges don't measure volts, they measure current, typically in units of amps or fractions or an amp (milliamps). A volt meter is simply an

A high output alternator might cause problems, but the standard 10SI won't. It peaks at about 35 amps. Do remember that not all the current in the electrical system goes through the ammeter. When the
