: '64 SS amp guage harness

I've exhausted all the local resourses trying to find how the amp guage wiring harness hooked up at the voltage regulator, and how the shunt or resistor was used. In actuality, I'm working on a '64 Nova SS but am hoping the Chevelle was using the same system in the '64 SS.

Any help will be great!

Best I can do right now is a photo of mine. I can scan the schematic for you tomorrow, or someone else might have it.

Thanks Danny,

That was quick. The picture might do it, however I'd be greatful for a schematic if one is available.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

This one... http://www.tocmp.com/tOCMP/wiring/5765wiring%20diagrams/Chevrolet/MWireChev64_3WD-085.jpg ...shows the ammeter shunt on the 64 Chevelle. Didn't see it on the Chevy II diagram.

Your correct. The chevelle diagram show it, the chevy II diagram does not.

Danny,

Thanks!!!!!!!! That's the one I needed. All the Chevy II diagrams show just the idiot light version that I'd found so far, as do the above links. The link for the '64 Chevelle shows the SS gauges as well as the idiot lights, and the wire colors match my amp meter harness.

My next step is to find the correct shunt, which I'll assume may be the same part as the Chevelle, and as such, II times easier to find.

Thanks again to everyone for the help.
