Hi guys, I was wondering since I am replacing all the gauges from my cuda 71, and installing Autometer gauges, do i hook-up the Voltmeter the same way as the original, or is there another method of doing this?

You do not hook it up the same as the factory because the factory was actually an ammeter, measured amperage and not voltage. To hook up your volt guage, just find any wire that is powered with the switch in the ON position that doesn't have a big electrical load already on it and that'll tell you voltage. The directions should tell you how to do it also.

And what do I do with the existing two big wires that used to run for the Amp-meter?

Or in yet another way.. Ammeter = in series. Volt meter = in parallel
