installing autometer gauges
i am installing autometer gauges in my 79 trans am and am having a little trouble. the ignition power source that i am using to power the gauges is reading 12.75 v with no gauges pluged in but as soon as i plug one gauge in the power the the other plugs is cut in half to 6v then if i plug in a second gauge the voltage is again cut in half to 3v. What could be causeing this, and does each gauge have to be on a seperate ignition source? if any one has attempted the swap to aftermarket gauges any wiring tips would be a life saver right about now.

You've just discovered OHM's law (doh!). You wiring them in parallel or series? Sounds like series.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
