    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    Nah. Drill four holes. Those little handheld hacksaws with the blade exposed at the end are great for squaring off corners.

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    What will drive you nuts is a mechanical oil pressure gauge. I have one on my Z28. You can watch the pressure bleed off your bearings when you lay on it. That said it makes over 100 psi on cold start. Figure 10 psi per 1000 rpm when warm is sufficient. Sent from my VIVO XL using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    Oh. Just to get an accurate reading. I could get a VDO gauge but just being a cheapskate. Sent from my VIVO XL using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    I know you guys will hate me but I found an overseas source for 30v digital voltmeters for about $3 each. I'm going to put one next to the analog one on that panel. Plus a switch likely...for something. Sent from my VIVO XL using Tapatalk

    Yes. And the worst part is the resistor is pink. On mine anyway. Sent from my VIVO XL using Tapatalk

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    I should have mentioned - I checked the impedance across my makeshift resistor pack and it was 297-298ohm, so definitely within 1% tolerance. It was also interesting that the next time I started the truck the meter slowly went up into the middle of the end range. So maybe 29 or so volts coming...

    Voltmeter - mapping voltages to markings

    Hi everyone. My voltmeter died shortly after buying my m1009. Thanks for all who contributed helpful posts that came up on my search regarding debugging the voltmeter. I checked at the connections and I was getting 24v. So I pulled it. Then I took it to my shop and connected the 12v lug...
