Both original ammeter wires in a Mustang were at +12V; the red one goes directly to the battery and the yellow one goes to the alternator output. Neither should ever be grounded as you have now discovered. Its not a conventional ammeter wiring and doesn''t use a normal ammeter but what is called a shunt ammeter.
Contact UsAmmeter bypass
It gets rid of the ammeter in the circuit, which itself is a known weakness in the system. And it bypasses the bulkhead connector, which isn''t a good way to run that kind of amperage. Which is why you can often find burned or melted terminals at the bulkhead. As far as increasing battery voltage, it shouldn''t. Or at least not much.

Drawing short-circuit current from a battery can damage or even explode the battery even if it is done for just a few seconds. The only way to know the current that a battery can handle safely is to find the information in the manufacturer''s specifications for the battery. The reason for that is the internal battery parts have resistance.
Contact UsMatching Ammeter to Alternator
The sequence is power is generated in the alternator, then goes to the horn relay/accessories, then the battery, then the starter terminal. The galvanometer is sensitive to the small voltage differential between these two points, which is <1 volt. A 1.5 volt battery used for testing can peg and burn the gauge out if left on more than momentarily.

$begingroup$ Just off the top of my head, here''s what I can think of: usually, multimeters have three probe inputs: one common ground, and two positive (one high voltage, one low, etc). If you''re going from low voltage (logic/breadboard) to high (mains voltage, etc), confirm your probes are hooked up to the right inputs, or you might be replacing another fuse.
