Hello all, I was thinking of putting an ammeter in the Spit. What range should I get? 30-0-30 or 60-0-60. What in that little car would pull more than 30 amps? One of the biggest loads I can think of

I'm sure some better informed sparky will correct me if the following is incorrect, but an ammeter will indicate the net difference of currents in the car electrics. Therefore your calculation below

All of what you say is true. Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think you would want to connect this meter to the starting motor circuit. That does open the question of the best location to

I must ditto what Pat said about the difference of currents, however are you talking about an ampmeter or a voltmeter? Unless my mind is having a really bad day (which it just might) Most cars measu

FWIWI think those holes are for the extra air vent that were used in the GT-6 models. I used that hole to add a analog clock to my Spitfire Dave Simpson 76 Spitfire

I agree with Pat as well. I have also read that a voltmeter detects problems within the electrical system faster than an ammeter. Plus it is real easy to find an early to mid eighties jag at a junk y

Yeah, But what if you have an older Spit that has Jaeger Gauges. Are there some older Jags in those junk yards that have Jaeger voltmters? Joe -- "If you can't excel with talent, triumph with effort.

Dave -- To the best of my recollection, the 30-0-30 ammeter is appropriate for cars with a generator. If yours has an alternator, you should probably use the 60-0-60. -- Andy L

Dave, For a Spitfire, 30-0-30 is fully adequate. If the ammeter is wired correctly, it reads ONLY the current going into or out of the battery, with a few exclusions, and NOT the current being suppli

As an electrical engineer I have to question your assertion that voltmeters are "thermal devices". I think what you're referring to was an earlier thread that stated that the older Smiths dash guage

Jim, As far as I know, there are three major types of electrical analog guages in use, two of which are commonly used in an automobile application. The first is the thermal type, which was the only t

There is another type of ammeter, it uses a shunt resistor, and a high impedence voltmeter calibrated in amps. Work out the voltage drop in the shunt, you have the figure in amps. You could even wire

James, You are right, but getting a matching meter for a Spitfire will be a problem. The typical "Smiths" voltmeter used in the British cars of this era, which would match up nicely, are very low imp
