Re: generator to alternator conversion
Running through the Ammeter to the Bat from the Alternator is OK IF the Alternator is a low output 37 amp unit.
BUT if the Alternator puts out more then that say 50 or 60 Amps the Ammeter will be short lived.
Its best to run a 10 gauge wire from the Alternator to the Battery ( or junction block or starter ).
To monitor charging install a volt meter that is switched on with the key. This will prevent a minor draw on the battery when the vehicle is not used.
BTW if you use a 1 wire Alternator you will have to goose the engine to get it to start charging.
