dcpky.......ALL digital meters will jump around. Its a circuit called "sample and hold". It is susceptible to yer sparkies. I'm notta' fan of the 1-wire alternator conversion 'cuz it takes about 2/3's throttle to turn the alternator "ON". Dunno about you...BUT...I don't like jazzin' a COLD engine to high rpms. I much prefer the 3-wire alternator 'cuz it will turn on at about 1/3 throttle. (600-rpms) ........Dell, a 12-volt advocate for the right reasons; so far I haven't found the right reason to convert my eazy starting 6-volt 8-N
