[Healeys] FW: My 100-6 1957

[Bob Spidell]

Correction: My old ammeter /may/ have a shunt resistor. I don't recall 
one, but I haven't looked at it in years; I'll see if I can find it in 
my parts stash. I didn't install it because it appeared full current 
could pass through it, and IIRC I figured 14ga wire or bigger might be 
needed, and would have to be routed through the scuttle and under the 
fascia.
