A wiring schematic would be very helpful. Moss has reprints of factory servi=

    Correction: My old ammeter <i>may</i> 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.<br>

      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
