When I replaced the bad V-8 in the Bronco II that I bought with the 302 out of my old Ranger, I removed the amp guage from the dash and just spiced the wires together.
When I finally got this thing running and was checking the guages, I noticed it was cranking out like 16-17 volts!
I replaced the voltage regulator with another one I had and it was fine for a minute or two, and then krept back up to 16-17 volts.
Is there some kind of resistance in the Amp guage that it won't let me just remove it and connect the wires together???
In case your wondering, I removed the Gen I dash and put in a Gen II dash that had a voltage guage, not amp guage.
Thanks.
