This voltmeter can be used to replace the existing ammeter in the gauges dash of your 1970-72 Chevelle, Monte Carlo, or El Camino. The voltmeter is designed to fit into the dash pod replacing the ammeter. Wiring is separate from the circuit board.
The original ammeter showed the flow of current in and out of the battery, while this new voltmeter will show the force of the current (voltage) that exists in the system.
Ammeters have fallen out of favor due, in part, to the presence of hot wires under the dash even when the vehicle is turned off. Also ammeters, when wired by GM as a shunt meter, cannot function as intended when One-Wire Alternators are used or the factory wiring is replaced.
Our products allow our customers a viable solution to retain the factory appearance of their car without sacrificing performance. "In the olden days" many GM vehicles came with either a Powerglide or a 3-speed automatic such as a TH350 or TH400. As time went on, GM released a variety of transmissions that had overdrive capability. Overdrive simply means that the output shaft of the transmission rotates faster then the speed of the input shaft from the engine. The result was better fuel economy, as well as more gentle highway RPMs. Some of the popular transmissions in this category include the TH700-R4, TH200-4R, 4L60, and 4L80E. The main issue arose, however, when hot-rodders and car enthusiasts began attempting to swap these transmissions into their classics the factory shifter no longer functioned properly. This is where Shiftworks comes in. From conversion kits for factory floor-shifters, to complete new shifter packages, we enable hot-rodders to upgrade their cars transmission, without moving away from a completely factory interior look. With new shifter detents, transmission components, and console indicators designed for 3-speeds, 4-speed overdrives, and even for some applications, 6 & 8-speed automatics, Shiftworks products allow you to make your transmission swap as if your car came that way.
