« on: September 16, 2015 - 09:16:18 PM »
Hi everyone...

I heard it is possible to convert the ammeter to a voltmeter. Do you guys know who offers this service?

Thanks!

Here are some pics of an amp to voltmeter conversion done by Redline Gauge Works. The cost was $180 (a couple of years ago), and it does require that you send the cluster in as an assembly. That way the job gets done right and it look likes it belongs there. A voltmeter scale can be added to the face for an additional $40 and it will be printed on the face no decal or sticker. All gauge repairs and conversions include a 2 year warranty and you get a fast turn around with the best customer service in the gauge restoration business. Give them a call at (661) 259-8891

Redline is the best, unbelieveable job Shannon did on our cluster.  :2thumbs:  But be advised, turnaround is not fast, they are very busy.   :2cents:                     :rebel:

I have an after market ammeter and voltmeter.  Having both
is handy for electrical troubleshooting.
72 Cuda, owned 25 years. 496, with ported Stage VI heads, .625 in solid roller, 254/258 at .050, 3500 stall, 3.91 rear. 850 Holley DP, Reverse manual valve body.

1999 Trans Am, LS1, heads, cam, headers, stall, etc! Love to surprise the rice rockets with this one. They seem so confident, then it's "what the heck just happened?"
