One side of the ammeter connects to the starter and the other to the charging system and accessories (lights, etc). The wires to the charging system and starter are heavy gauge.
Do you have a generator or an alternator?
Where did you get the harness? Someone here may be familiar with it and can help with the wire colors and sizes. The "power for gauges" may be only used for the gas gauge. Back in 1953, it was the only gauge that needed power; temp and oil pressure were mechanical gauges.
