You don't want to use the clock's power, as it's continuous. The voltmeter will wear your battery down. I just ran a wire from a switched terminal of the fuseb; /html/mgb-v8/2007-10/msg00014.html (7,174 bytes)

Anything less than 15.5 volts seems to be O.K. Less than 14 volts should be cause for concern. The hot wire can be any switched source.; /html/mgb-v8/2007-10/msg00015.html (7,249 bytes)

Do not use the voltage Try a second gauge. or remove & have it checked at the parts house. NAPA & others have testers that spin the alternator. /; /html/mgb-v8/2007-10/msg00016.html (9,355 bytes)

Alternator maximum voltages can be as low as 14.3v. Dynamo equipped cars can range from 14.3 to 15.5v, and all those; /html/mgb-v8/2007-10/msg00018.html (7,880 bytes)
