My question as I indicated above though is regarding my ignorance about the two posts on the back of the ammeter. As I'm tortuously pretzeled on my back under the dash looking up, is the ammeter "load" side the post I see on my right, or the one on my left?
I have researched this a bit to learn up somewhat on just what load means, but in all definitions I've read, it depends on whether your vehicle is negative or positive ground.
The "load" side of the ammeter would always be the one opposite where the battery connects, whether you have negative or positive ground. The battery side post is typically called the "source" connection.
