I borrowed a buddies car for my daughters prom. The freakin amp guage just burnt out!! Need a quick fix for Saturday any suggestions? Its a 66 Newport ambulance.

Eliminate it.You can do the Madd conversion in the archives or for quick I just use a screw and nut and put the 2 wires together and tape them up.Its common for the amp gauge to go bad.Mines been bypassed for probally 20 years.I run a volt meter.Problem solved.Rocky

That fix came to me after my panic attack!!LOL I forgot about that easy fix. The poor car has too many add ons to the fuse box and after 47 years things are starting to fry!!! I just need it to stay together for 2 hours till my daughters prom is over.

What Rock said: pull a batt cable then put both of the large ammeter wires on one of the two ammeter studs. (Dont matter which one). If there's more than 2 wires put all of em on the same stud

That will work I had to solder a new end on the red wire and I bolted the two wires together, car's running all lights are on and the wire isn't heating up. Should get me thru till Sat. eve.

I got more faith in the daughter than the old car!!LOL I will have the wiring harness rebuilt by the time I give the car back to it's owner!

mine has an aftermarket amp gauge connected to a set under the dash. The wires were just extended to it

Just hope that after market amp gauge dosen go up in smoke.Dont ask how I know.Install a volt gauge.Simple easy and no danger like amp gauges.Just remember old Mopars draw a ton of current thru that amp gauge.Rocky
