Volts is to show battery volts and alternator output. Amp Meter shows rate of electricity currently in use or production of amps. Personally speaking I do not like amp meters. They run on the hot side and I have seen them catch on fire. I run a clock in the amp meter spot myself and use it every time I am in the car. You have the basic gauges correct. I think I read in a Cobra book somewhere that the race only cars did not use a gas gauge. Can someone verify this?
