[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 419582, member: 7076"] Don't wire it to #6, you'd never get your engine to start :) You wouldn't want to use any of the connections on your power pack for the voltmeter, none would give you an accurate battery voltage. To use a volt meter the way you describe, you should attach the positive to the switched power from your ignition switch. This is the purple wire coming off of the big red plug. This one will have no power when your ignition is switched off. You'll have to decide if it's easier to access this directly at the switch, or run it back from the motor. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
