I wasn't clear in "totally eliminate the ammeter". It will still be there but with the alternator feeding the battery directly it will never see the charging.
Another reason that modern cars with gauges (starting in late 1960s or early 1970s) have voltmeters, not ammeters. To me, there's something wrong about running the entire amperage of the vehicle electrical system through a single point of failure, i.e., the ammeter.
I'm replacing all the wiring on my Panther with a new G.P. loom much like KevinAZ did on his 400 (he chose Painless brand). It will have a new voltmeter gauge in it, too (all new gauges, actually).
