Hi Mikkel, welcome to the list. I would expect that a '70 model has an alternator but I know that with a generator at idle, it's ruuning too slow to produce any significant power thus the red ignitio

I agree with Daniel, neither gauge offers significant "important" data and an oil temperature gauge is quite useful. Amperage and voltage are two different units of electricity. We've all had a batt

sorry just had to ad my 2 cents.... I really find my amperage meter to be useful in my other car, I can instatly see if my charging system is working, and avoid the starter moan situation and being l

And I feel just the opposite of Toby. In my opinion the amp gauge tells you if it is working or not. So does the red ignition light. I run volt gauges in all my LBCs, I can check to see what the char

A Left Hand Drive 1970 Midget would have a generator. What you are observing is normal for a generator as they don't work efficiently at low RPM's, so can't supply enough power for the cars electric

Personally, I'd go for a voltmeter. A voltmeter will read 13-15 volts when the dyno is charging and less than 12 when you're running your headlights, electric fan, heater blower, windshield wipers, a

While in Carlisle, I picked up an Smith's ammeter from a Triumph but I never found a Smith's volt meter. Do they exist and if so does someone want to sell me one? An ammeter must allow current to pa

The Amp gauge goes between the alternator/generator and the battery. The Volt meter goes between the battery and the switch. New Smith's Amp and Volt meters are available form XK's Unlimited. Larry
