Very generally, a volt meter would connect to a power source and ground (typically) while an ammeter connects inline between the source and load as it does on the Packard gauge. It IS an ammeter even if it is not calibrated or even incremented to give actual measurements in amps.

Anyway, great test procedures were outlined here that I will find quite handy when working on my cars as this is the stuff that 30 or 40 years of not working on them has made me forget!
