Aftermarket volt gauge in amp guage location

[dartman_of_tampaba]

Can't remember where I saw it, whether in Mopar Muscle or not - but someone fitted a voltmeter in the stock ampmeter location on a Dart or possibly a Valient.

Anyone know who offers the guage and have a pic?

i got the info from MAD electric:

Yes, we offer amp to voltmeter conversions for $125 and it requires that you send the complete cluster. Please give us a call if you have further questions. (661) 259-8891.

I visited them at Carlisle this weekend and they told me the same thing/price. They said they can change your gauge face to read volts also or just tell you how to read it with the old face. I was thinking of doing all the gauges in white anyway on my valiant.

I bet if you just take the wires and run one to gound, the other to pos  on the battery, it will be a voltmeter.
just have to dial it in mentally, using a hand held voltmeter, to remember how much voltage at load, etc.

Do that and you'll probably cook your fusible link. The ammeter is a shunt and if you hook up one side to groung the electrical system will see this as a short circuit. Voltmeters are high impedence devices so as not to load down the circuit.

Do not try this at home ... it WILL let all of the majic smoke out of the fusible link ...
