Rapom's Rocket - just another Duster build thread
The stock ammeter, IMO, works fine in a restored application. Put any demands on the electrical system and problems start to arise especially on less cared for OEM wiring because the entire electrical load of the car runs thru that one little gauge. I much prefer a voltmeter which only monitors the system and is not an intragale part of it.
I got pretty lucky with this car, even though the wire wrap was in pretty sad shape the wires themselves, for the most part, are in great condition. Little to no corrosion, burnt, hacked on or otherwise molested connections and the wire is still supple.
