[DeTomaso] And Here's Another Question for the Forum....

[Chris Difani]

Guys:

Thanks a lot for all the thoughts and recommendations on my remote jumper 
terminal location question that I asked a couple of days ago. Larry Finch 
sent me a couple of pictures of his installation, and I'm going to be 
following in his "footsteps"... or maybe Dennis Q's footsteps...

Anyway, that takes care of the remote jumper terminals question.

Now for the next question.....

I've installed a 150 amp alternator in place of the original wimpy Ford 
alternator. In addition to this change in the electrical system, I want to 
install a voltmeter in place of the original ammeter. The Veglia ammeter 
isn't "heavy" enough to handle the increased amperage (so I'm told), and an 
"ammeter" isn't that good of a sensor for electrical system "health" in the 
first place.

Now I know how to install a voltmeter, that's not the problem (my 
replacement instrument came with a good set of instructions: a SPA Technique 
Dual Digital gauge from Pegasus). My problem is what should I do with all 
the wires that "used to" connect to the Veglia ammeter? Should I remove all 
the wiring that goes to the ammeter? Or just what?

Thanks again,

Chris
