For those of you who have an alternator and don't care to be totally original, I would recommend a voltmeter. It is more useful for checking the health of the battery before starting and during starting, and the health of the alternator once the engine has charged the battery. The voltmeter should register 7 volts for the 6 volt system and 14 volts for a 12 volt system after a few minutes drive time. The voltmeter can also be used to check the health of the starter motor.

Would the voltmeter have a continuous draw if wired that way. I think it would have to be switch?
