1939 ammeter connection photo 1 Attachment(s)
Hey all, I could use some help with an ammeter photo. I have mine out and it has 2 fewer connections than anticipated. It has none, anyone have a photo of how the wires attach? Thanks!

This should be a single 10ga. wire that runs from the gen./regulator thru the loop and directly to the battery side of the solenoid. |
Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo The wire just passes through the clip. No connections.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo It goes through the loop, if it goes through the wrong way it will show discharge. Walt

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo Thanks gentlemen, I didn't see that coming. I may get the cluster working after all. Sometime in the past someone drilled the dash full of holes for gauges and I want weld in plugs and use the factory gauges.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo Hey sofa: Your 39 should have a VOLT meter not an ampemeter , if your car is a deluxe and some later standard had the volt meter. try to find a cluster with a volt meter. its what your 39 should have,,,,, by the book and worth it, and it show the condition of the battery..... OLD....BILL

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo 2 x OLD...BILL Functionally, I understand a volt meter best-shows the condition of the Batt and electrical system, as opposed to an amp meter. Wiring different but not complicated .... A Volt meter has two threaded stud terminals. One goes to ground and one to the electrical system (preferably to the system side of the starter solenoid for best reading of Batt condition. If meter dial indicator reads reverse, reverse the connections.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo If voltmeter is connected to the solenoid, the voltmeter will continue to draw down the battery when the motor is off - connect the voltmeter to the load side of the ignition switch.

Re: 1939 ammeter connection photo my 39 peeekup has a voltmeter. I dunno if the gauges are original as the background's don't match. I have a cutout.
