Re: Ammeter Fire

The amp meter is probably okay. Did you install a 30 amp or a 60 amp alternator?
Your amp gauge has to match the out put of the alternator. If it’s a 30 amp get a 30 amp gauge.

Re: Oil change surprise !

It didn’t look like a pice of the drain plug. It definitely was outside the edge of a shim. I wish I got a picture of it!:mad:

Re: Off-Road 1930 Model A Coupe

Did you notice the hydraulic lift on the front? It raises the front of the car so you can swap the front tires to the skies.
