You could convert the ammeter to a voltmeter, I think someone on the board even sells a kit. It'd be more informative, accurate, and best of all it'd work!
I put one of those kits on, now my temp gauge don't work.

Re: Pictures of both AMP gauge fuse locations?

After 50 years the small glass fuse is PITA. Just partially rewired a customers truck and changed them over to a spade fuse with the internal alt. I pull the wires out of the voltage reg connector and eliminate the blue and white. Left over with red and brown. Hook a single connector to each of them then to the alt connector. Been doing it for years this way. Want to go back to OE someday? save what you take off and put it in a baggie. Easy peasy. Priced out a regulator and alternator at over 120.00. Got the updated one for 58.00 and moved a couple of wires. Had to re-clock the new alternator though so the wires weren't hanging above the ex manifold
