Hello, Jim - Don't have a diagram for yours, but the general set-up is a main feed line - fairly heavy wire (10 or 12 gauge) - from the hot terminal on the starter solenoid to the dash. All power flows through this to/from the battery except the starter motor, and the ammeter inserted in this line will tell you what's happening. There will be a terminal for this line somewhere under the panel - probably on the starter switch. Lifting the wire from this terminal, hooking it to the ammeter, and running a similar gauge jumper wire from the other ammeter terminal to the original point will get you into operation. If the ammeter reads charge when you turn the lights on (engine off) reverse the connections on the ammeter. There might be a snag if the alternator output goes directly to the starter solenoid. If so, you'll need to extend this wire to the ammeter terminal on which you connected the jumper. Have you considered a voltmeter rather than an ammeter? It gives you a similar indication of positive charging, and installation is simpler. It requires no rewiring - just a connection to any point under the dash which is live when running, and a ground or earth. If it stays on when the engine is shut down, it can discharge the battery over a period of months. Hope this helps.
