I am restoring 1969 Roadrunner with all new wiring from American Autowire. Their new wiring requires a one wire alternator which I have. Problem is with the higher output alternators AAW doesn't allow for use of the original Alternator gauge (Amps) in the instrument cluster. They say it can cause heat at bulkhead and cause fire.

If anyone has ran across this issue I would like to know how you resolved. I have read about replacing the Amp gauge with Bosch voltage gauge but looking for another alternative.

Thank you
 
there has always been a problem with the amp meter to catch the mopars on fire as the insulation degraded that separated them from ground and let the amp wires short to ground then the fire dose it to your car. replace with a volt meter and leave the stock looking gage
