Disconnect the battery and remove the two heavy wires from the back of the
ammeter. They are 1/4" push on connectors. I suggest cutting these
connectors off and using a splice to connect the two wires together Tape
them real good and use a high quality crimp tool, not the $10 jobs from
auto parts houses.
The volt meter should connect from ground to the run connection on the
ignition switch. Wouldn't hurt to put a fuse in this lead, 1A is more than
enough.
