On a side note, "it might be" that 'Vette cluster you pictured is a shunt ammeter and not the "full current" type such as used in Mopar A bodies............

"In theory" a remote shunt ammeter is superior insofar as wiring problems and the infamous bulkhead connector. But many of them as applied practically are a POS. Many are so "numb" that when you turn on the headlights at rest you have a hard time without intently staring at the needle, to see if it really moved at all. I actually extended a wire in the harness---to intentionally cause more drop "in the shunt" and cause the meter to have more sensitivity. I did this "back in the day" for a couple of friend's of mine Fords. This was long before Al Gore "invented the internet"
