I have another question in regards to the Ammeter. I been reading some posts that you can still leave with 12v system. Others recommend not to use with 100 amp alternator, which I have, because it’s known to cause the ammeter to burn up. What are your recommendations? I would like to keep the original look as much as possible and not have aftermarket gauges hanging from my dash. Thanks again

If the ammeter has a shunt, you can use it. It may "peg" and you won't know what it reads past "peg", but that won't hurt the meter. Why a 100 amp alternator on a 55.1?
Think about a simple voltmeter. You are already past original with the 12V and alternator. But who cares? Who needs a meter? Who looks at a meter. If your battery/lights start to go down, you check the system. If battery goes bad quick, the ammeter won't catch that anyway. If you want to keep the "ammeter look", leave it in there unconnected and wire up your alternator to a tell tale somewhere. Some people call that an idiot light. Pilots call them annunciators. GM calls them indicators. They get your attention better than a meter needle.
