I’ve searched and searched, can’t find a specific answer to my question. I’ve got a question about wiring my stock ammeter (1950 GMC Truck) to my 12v , 3 wire GM alternator (sbc 350). Would I be able to to run the batt wire (output on alternator) to one post on the ammeter, and then the other post on the ammeter to the battery? Essentially this would eliminate all other circuits on the charge side, and run the charge through the ammeter to battery, if I’m understanding it correctly. I know every diagram I see has the ammeter running to the starter, but I was wondering if I could eliminate this. This is a rat rod/resto mod project. The only other circuit on the truck other then the few wires to run the motor, are the head and tail lights, that’s it. No heater fan, AC, radio, nothing. Can I just run that ammeter in-line of the alt/batt cable?
