stock ammeter question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just swapped out my idiot light dash with a stock gauge cluster. I was wondering at what point to tie into the charging circuit. One side I have connected to the terminal near the battery. The other side I have tried at various points.First I tied it into the voltage regulator. At that point the gauge has very little movement. Then I tied it into the terminal on the alternator. That almost pegs the gauge out on the charge side. Does anyone have a suggestion for the best point to tie into on that side.

thanks for any help
