Need to place a 16 gage Fusible link where the 14 gage link is.
Then the 12 gage wires are better protected. The current 16 gage link can be eliminated.

Yes the ammeter will work as normal. There's only one path to or from the battery - and that's through the ammeter.


Okay, I understand. The 16 gauge FL on the alternator side was in the alternate 73 Charger/Coronet diagram posted a few pages back. From reading another thread I'd referenced earlier and that diagram, I had assumed that the 16 gauge FL would be necessary on the alternator side, to protect the smaller wiring between it and the amp gauge, if the alternator shorted out, or something else on that side of the amp gauge.
