1939 ammeter connection photo
Hey all, I could use some help with an ammeter photo. I have mine out and it has 2 fewer connections than anticipated. It has none, anyone have a photo of how the wires attach? Thanks!

This should be a single 10ga. wire that runs from the gen./regulator thru the loop and directly to the battery side of the solenoid.

The wire just passes through the clip. No connections.

It goes through the loop, if it goes through the wrong way it will show discharge. Walt

Thanks gentlemen, I didn't see that coming. I may get the cluster working after all. Sometime in the past someone drilled the dash full of holes for gauges and I want weld in plugs and use the factory gauges.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo
2 x OLD...BILL Functionally, I understand a volt meter best-shows the condition of the Batt and electrical system, as opposed to an amp meter. Wiring different but not complicated .... A Volt meter has two threaded stud terminals. One goes to ground and one to the electrical system (preferably to the system side of the starter solenoid for best reading of Batt condition. If meter dial indicator reads reverse, reverse the connections.

If voltmeter is connected to the solenoid, the voltmeter will continue to draw down the battery when the motor is off - connect the voltmeter to the load side of the ignition switch.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo
my 39 peeekup has a voltmeter. I dunno if the gauges are original as the background's don't match. I have a cutout.
