gauges bouncy after engine swap..'98 SE
The installer said that my gauges were fluctuating, and he is correct. I didn't have that problem before the engine swap. If I use the turn signal or even step on the brake, the ammeter drops a little. I have recently replaced the alternator, so it should be good, any suggestions?

Check the connections on the alternator too - make sure they are tight and clean. Disconnect the negative battery terminal before you mess with the alternator

I replaced the power cable leading to the power center and I cleaned the other. After test driving it, I see no difference in the way the gauges react. They still pulsate on turn signal or a brake pedal depression.
