<VV> VDO Gauges

[Larry Forman]

Hi Ned,
I agree about the vacuum gauge for a 140, but it still is good to know if 
the vacuum is about where it should be.  It can also tell you a lot about 
the engine, like if the valves are operating properly.  As for an ammeter, 
I think a voltmeter is MUCH better.  You can have about the right current 
flowing, but the voltage might not be right.  The voltmeter provides better 
information and you can see things faster with a voltmeter than an 
ammeter.  Also, it is MUCH easier to wire up a voltmeter versus an ammeter.
