I have been running a 63 amp alternator for years with my stock ammeter
gauge with no problems. I think as long as connections are clean and
tight there should be no problem. I believe there is some confusion here
as to capability of alternator output vs actual alternator output.
Maybe with a super high power stereo cranked all the way up, all lights
burning and battery almost dead you *might* approach the alternator
output but even then I'm not sure. At any rate if you want a voltmeter
that's fine but I wouldn't get too nervous using your stock ammeter.
Just my two cents.
