Tagging on to this thread because the previous discussion is relevant to my question. About to order some wiring supplies and one of the questions I need to answer is this:
Ammeter - full current or shunted?
Prior to reading this thread my (limited) understanding was that my 51 truck would have been setup as full current. If I read Jon G’s posts here, it looks like maybe the factory setup is already shunted? How would I know?
For background, the truck has presumably original gauges but was converted to 12v generator sometime in the distant past. I’m perfectly satisfied with the ammeter being a simple charge/discharge device…not striving for precision. I’m also willing to add a shunt if that’s a best practice. But for now I’m just a little confused.
