Thanks @89G!!! I'm just glad it turned out as well as it did. I think I lucked out with the donor gauge.

yeah mine never did anything that I saw, but when you rewire for 3g alternator conversion i think i read it either bypasses or disables the amp meter anyways? Does that sound right Todd?@@306foxbody1

Hi vrm, I could be wrong, but I think the 3G is too much alternator for the factory 79-86 Amp gauge. My gauge never moved for years, so I think it failed due to too much current going through it. The only way it could be bypassed is if we physically bypass it ourselves. If a guy were to look at the schematics, we could see if the 3G alternator wire harness modification disables the Amp gauge... It's definitely a possibility!! I never thought of that!!👍

Nice work man, I wanna do this to my 86 also as the gauge is froze probably because of the 130 amp alternator upgrade from LMR lol. What’s the part number of the gauge u used ?

Hi, thanks for watching! I didn't buy the gauge new, however I think it was a Summit brand G2939. You could likely make others work quite easily, however this one seemed to work out pretty good. Thanks again!👍👍

Cool project. Wonder if the volt meter from the 87 -93 dash could be retrofitted.

Hey @sbf_fox2434, I would think many volt meters could be adapted. I think I lucked out with the gauge I had fitting so well. If my brother didn't give me that one, I was eyeing up Bosch gauge and one other similar $15 volt meter I found. After all, I didn't want to experiment with an Autometer or similar! Lol Thanks for watching!!👍👍

@@306foxbody1 I found a vender called Rocketman's Classic Cougar Innovations that does the AMP to VOLT swap on many Ford AMP meters if you send him your core. It does not appear he has them for the fox though.
