Re: ammeter bypass

[Jim Jablonski <groovinjim@xxxxxxx>]

The two concepts introduced by Mark at MAD are not myths:

- “Thermal Runaway” from resistance is real.  Ask anyone in Michigan who drove a Mopar back in the day as a daily driver in the winter with heater, wipers, lights, etc. going.  Burned out bulkhead terminals were a rite of passage

- The introduction of relays to avoid running voltage in real time throughout the chassis was a design improvement that eventually all manufacturers went to - Mopar was just remarkably late to this party despite their obvious innovations in many other areas

Now, can you keep your old cruiser 100 stock?  Of course.  But if you add power circuits and / or want to generally upgrade your system, eliminating the amp gauge and heavy power wire would be job 1.

Just my opinion, of course.

Wondering how many of you have done this? I have read the  MAD electrical article  a few times, but  then surfing around on the internet some people say it's all bunk, or it's not necessary on the early mopars. 

I don't know what to make of it anymore.
