I have my alternator running through my Original amp gauge at it is just
fine you probably will never see full output of an 63 amp or an 80 amp
alternator as what I am running. I have left my light on for hours with my
Optima battery find out that I have left them on go start up engine and I
still don't see quit full out put so I say with all of this!!!! run the
Original amp gauge

I have been running a 63 amp alternator for years with my stock ammeter
gauge with no problems. I think as long as connections are clean and
tight there should be no problem. I believe there is some confusion here
as to capability of alternator output vs actual alternator output.
Maybe with a super high power stereo cranked all the way up, all lights
burning and battery almost dead you *might* approach the alternator
output but even then I'm not sure. At any rate if you want a voltmeter
that's fine but I wouldn't get too nervous using your stock ammeter.
Just my two cents.
