Cool your jets there son! :) A very large percentage of these old A bodies were re-wired precisely because the original dash guage didn't work correctly and would cause a no-start situation. A lot of them caused under dash burn outs and all kinds of havoc. I ran into the same problem with my 66 years ago and bypassed the original ampmeter before any more damage was done. Have a look at the Mad Electrical site for a great how-to on bypassing the cluster guage. :book: If you're really frustarted and just can't wait to get this running, remove the wire from the left post of the dash guage and move it over to the right post along with the existing wire. You've now bypassed the guage and have a complete circut which will allow the car to start - if there aren't any other continutiy problems. Good luck.
