Thanks for the info here,...

I'm up for exorcising my clock on my '89. It has worked flawlessly during it's six years with me...(I surely would stow it away),..and make use of a voltmeter in it's place. Maybe a combinational gauge,..we'll see.....had been using R/L detector to monitor voltage (saved my arse' on an alt/reg going bad)....am coverting R/L detector to wireless or hidden cables to rid myself of (exposed) cables.......will be cool to NOT have to occasionally check the cig lighter output DC level vs. the actual battery (compensating for the differential-while "monitoring"------,..albeit small, but still existent).. A voltmeter with the rest of the instrumentation will be nice.... (usefully: i.e., REQUIRED).

It's amazing that they would omit such crucial voltage monitoring,........I can assure you that nothing lit up my (stock) dash when that reg output +16.0 volts for a brief moment,..caught (and alarmed) when it happened by the R/L detector.....then it happened once more on a different day....BAM,..fresh alt/Reg......DONE. Found the original 1989 alternator in my 1989, BTW!!!!! Guess it was done after all of those years of service (ahem).

Will check this guy out,...thanks, again.

BEST!
