You can check temp. using a non-contact infrared thermometer to see if readings reflect what you are seeing on installed Gauge.

Interestingly the car is still 6 V. I don’t know how he did it but the previous owner managed to find a 6V alternator. I didn’t even know they existed. In any event I could go back to the generator any time (it came with the car) but since we have mandatory headlight use 24/7 it would probably not work in terms of max. current.
Good point about the IR thermometer. I need one of those.
