 Jim,
        Why mmechanical?? I was thinking electric from Auto Meter. Arent
they supposed to be really good gauges?? Expensive anyways.  I have a 
volt meter. Need it with all the extra stuff I got on the car.
        Here's a strange thing.. My voltmeter shows the most deflection
when I turn on the heater fan?? How could this be?? The gauge is telling
me that the heater fan is drawing more jsuice than the headlights?? That
just does nto seem right to me.. I have the volt meter hooked to the 
+ terminal on the batt and to a more local ground (I think).

Hey, I haven't given up on the supercharger idea yet... I'm jsut waiting
