Mark, Wire from ign switch should go to the Negative ( -) side of the gauge. Mike

Mike! Any voltmeter can be used then? 6 or 12 makes no difference?

12 volt could be used but.... most I have seen do not have good if any markings below about 8 volts. If you can find a gauge that is marked low enough it will work fine. Remember marking scale will need to be precise enough so you can tell the difference between 6 volt not charging and approx 7-7.5 volts when charging. Like I say finding one that reads that low will be the challenge. I know Classic can build you one but imagine that would be $$$ Mike

I hadn't thought about that.I just skimmed through a bunch on Ebay and didn't see one that starts at less than 8 volts.This could be a non-starter due to lack of parts!
