I just ordered an Ammeter gauge for my car since I had some problems with my alternator going bad and not knowing because my volt meter read 12 volts...
Does anyone have some tips on how to install it? Thanks! This post has been edited by Jaws4God: Jan 23, 2007 - 10:45 PM -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207

The stock alternator puts out 70 amps at max iirc, I bought a high output alternator off of ebay which "supposably" has 160 amps capability. As for wire size I'm not sure what size you should use
