Hey guys, I have 3 chrome auto gauge gauges I've liked over the years. My water temp is on the fritz and I'm thinking of replacing it soon. I was also thinking of replacing my current ammeter with a voltmeter. What do you guys think?

Also, my ammeter usually moves between 0 and 2. Is that normal? Is't a weird gauge that my dad out in 20 years ago. Thanks for any help.

I prefer a volt meter over an ammeter.
Knowing the alternator is kicking out 60 amps won't let you know the battery is only holding 9 volts and fading.
It also rules out another failure possibility by taking the main power feed out of the interior of the car.

Also, my ammeter usually moves between 0 and 2. Is that normal?
Yes, assuming it is wired correctly. Wired correctly, the amp meter shows the batterys charging rate. A low charging rate means the batterys fully charged.

Full flow amp meters were known to start car fires which is why they are not popular today. A voltmeter is better. See link http://www.autometer.com/tech_faq_answer.aspx?sid=1&qid=5

Thanks guys. I will be changing it out soon, thanks. And thanks for the ammeter info.
