'73 AMP gauge conversion issue

Hello,

I am re-installing my dash and I have run into one small problem.

I got everything hooked up, but I am having a problem with the ammeter conversion. The AMP/Fuel gauge is from a 1976 280z. I used he following instructions in my swap:

 

"Basically you just disconnect the two fat White/Red wires (maybe just white?) from the back of the ammeter and re-connect them. Insulate the living daylights out of this connection, and not with just electrical tape. Use heat shrink, prefereably the stuff with the glue on the inside.

Clean the contacts first. Bolt them together VERY tight.

Oh, and take a new 18 gauge wire from this same spliced connection and connect it to the + terminal of the voltmeter, and connect the negative terminal to ground. That's it."

 

Unfortunately the AMP gauge is only reading 4 volts. I have a youtube video to view its operation here.

 

I'm hoping someone can tell me what I did wrong or if my gauge is bad.

Thanks,

Han
