In the 1970-1974 E Body vehicles, like the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda, the standard dash amp meter gauge was a component of the instrument cluster. The amp meter, also known as an ammeter, measures the electrical current flowing in the vehicle's electrical system. Here are some general characteristics and information about the standard dash amp meter gauge during that period:

1. Analog Display: The amp meter gauge was an analog instrument featuring a needle that moved across a marked scale. It provided a visual representation of the electrical current in the vehicle's charging system.

2. Dash Location: The amp meter was typically integrated into the instrument cluster on the dashboard, alongside other gauges and indicators. The specific location could vary based on the model and trim level.

3. Operation: The amp meter measured the flow of electrical current between the battery and the charging system. A positive reading on the gauge indicated a charging condition (current flowing from the alternator to the battery), while a negative reading indicated a discharging condition (current flowing from the battery to power the vehicle's electrical components).

4. Charging System Monitoring: The amp meter provided a real-time indication of how much current was flowing in or out of the battery. It was a useful tool for monitoring the performance of the vehicle's charging system.

5. Normal Range: The gauge typically had markings to indicate a normal charging or discharging range. This helped drivers assess whether the electrical system was functioning within expected parameters.

6. Warning Indicators: Some models might have included warning lights or indicators associated with the amp meter to alert the driver of potential charging system issues.

Note: Not for use on 1970 Challenger models.
