<p>The Amp gauge should not have a shunt resistor. The rating should be
compatible with the output of the generator. Mostly 20A or 30A. If you have an
uprated generator you should replace the Amp gauge with a 50A, 60A or 80A
gauge, depending on output. Make sure the wiring is up to these amperages. You
cannot damage the gauge when you have connected it up the wrong way. It will
just read charge instead of discharge v.v. The can be rectified by changing over
the wires. There are no pos. or neg. earth versions. An Amp gauge is fitted in
the main supply cable, usually brown, but should exclude the starter motor
circuit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Most were Lucas branded but there are a few SMITHS and JAEGER branded ones.
They are all identical technically as they were all made by the same
manufacturer. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>A much safer option is fitting a Voltage gauge which is fitted standard in
cars with an alternator. This is just wired to the accessory terminal of the
ignition switch. It will give you the same information.<o:p></o:p></p>

Correction: My old ammeter <i>may</i> 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.<o:p></o:p></p>

FWIW: I got an ammeter for my BJ8 years ago; it's the only one I've seen for
Healeys--it is a Smiths--but I've been leery of installing it as it has to go
in series with one of the terminals on the voltage regulator--no shunt--and
AFAIK it carries full dis/charging current (possible major smoke producer). If
his has a shunt, it's likely an aftermarket and he probably needs to contact
the manufacturer (but it's likely for 12V systems and, conceivably, all he as
to do is wire it backwards for pos. gnd.). Getting the fuel gauge to work
properly can be an involved process; MGA Guru has the most comprehensive info
I've seen: <a href="https://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/fuel/fuel.htm">https://www.mgaguru.com//mgtech/fuel/fuel.htm</a><br>

help. I have the car since March 2019 , I bought it from a dealer / estate sale
in Benecia Cal. I have 3-4 tech/wiring questions that my Flagstaff Az
mechanic could not solve. I love the car and am disappointed that he
could not solve the problems. Can you send me a few email addresses that I can
send my issues to ? . I have an electrical background but no one has been able
to help me. Thank you regards Matt Mirabile. 516-941-6167. <br>
