69 With Tach painless Ammeter Wire Routing

Recommended Posts

1969 mustang with tach installing a painless wire harness. The kit list a wire 972 for connecting the ammeter. One 972 wire is red looks like one end is to connect to the starter solenoid and then goes into the gage cluster  pin out connector. Instruction do not show what post on the solenoid the ammetrer wire is to hook up to. Battery post side, S, I or opposite batery post side????? With the tach I think all I have is an idiot light for the ammeter. And I am running a one wire alternator in which case I don't think the ammeter light will work correctly.

 

Then there is a 972 yellow ammeter wire goes from the fuse box to gage cluster pin-out connector also. For a tach application I am to remove  bove from the  pinout copnnector and  connect the ends the two wire ends together with male/female plugs.

 

Perhaps iI should install a volt meter and  just forgetthe ammeter?

In general, ammeters and tachs don't go together.  Simply don't connect the ammeter lines anywhere and/or remove them.  But...you'll need the alternator lamp lines, but those require a resistor wire.  So...conversion to a volt-meter seems reasonable, but where to put it?
