Default Volt Gauge Blips
Either I've never noticed it, or it's bizzare??
Take the money pit out for a drive because it's a beautiful day and I notice that when the turn signal is on, the needle on the volt gauge has a blip in time with the flasher. Anyone have this, or do I have an electrical issue I should be tracking down?

Mine does as well and it's a fairly new AutoMeter voltmeter. I also have the 140A alternator.
