[T3] But wait, Im driving a 71 Volkswagen!

The connections TO the ammeter were fine, it was 
where the post was crimped onto the shunt INSIDE the ammeter,
which of course you need to cut open the ammeter to get at 
with these.

That is very good information Keith. 
It seems like a warning to check those connections on the ammeter. Be
certain the terminals are clean and fasteners are tight. 
That will help keep the amperage down.

But ONE thing did work, the Gas heater!  It's the ONLY thing that doesn't go

thru the Ammeter!  WALLA!  The shunt in the Ammeter has opened up!
 (after

disconnecting the battery!) put both terminals on one stud and Walla!  The

power is back!... developed a high
Resistance, melted the plastic a bit and opened the connection as the stud

started to move around.
