Original Ammeters

Where do you think those referenced builders and restoration shops are getting their information from? Maybe their suppliers/vendors? The AI search results you list are examples of the tons ammeter misinformation that has been circulating for many years, would not consider this information as factual by any means. Thanks, I’ll stick to my own Chrysler dealer training/experience, engineering background, and over 50-years working high-end automotive electrical to separate the facts from the fiction (or promotional material to sell something) on this subject. Funny, of all the many hundreds of Chrysler products I’ve worked on personally in my time in the trade, including currently owned Mopars or current builds for others, never saw one of these so-called “documented” ammeter failures that wasn’t caused by abuse, neglect, misplaced loading, or otherwise being clearly operated outside of its design limits. Thanks for the spirited debate, I think I’m finished with this thread as well.

All those so-called "facts" have already been proven false on this thread or have the phrases "when overloaded" or "corroded/dirty connections" which can cause issues and failures in ANY electrical system - NONE of what you posted proves the system as designed is flawed or has inherent design issues. Having dirty connections or being overloaded is NOT a desgn flaw it is age and lack of proper maintenance of the system - two very different things and you are confusing them. If you never change the oil in your engine and it blows up at 90,000 miles is it the fault of the design or lack of proper maintenance? Are you saying that if I delete the ammeter but still have very old, corroded wiring, dirty, corroded connections and a severely ovrlaoded system that I will NEVER have an electrical issue?

Way-Way-Way over reacting. Do you honestly believe somebody would be so stupid to just replace the amp meter for a voltmeter and not replace all the old original wiring for a whole new wiring setup? This thread ended yesterday… keep up!!!
