1963 & up Corvette Ammeters

For the 1963 and up, the ammeters are very low current meters.  Unlike the 1962 and down which are true meters.

Helpful Tip:

On the 63 & up ammeters, 3 amps will smoke the meter and even melt the plastic frame inside.  In truth, the ammeter is the fuse.  It's a very good idea to install a 3 amp quick blow fuse in one of the lines.  (Does not matter which one).  This will protect your meter from blowing out.

** I personally would first install a 1 (one) amp quick blow fuse.  If problem persists, then try a 2 (two) amp quick blow fuse.
