It is a shunt - essentially a big resistor (low value, high current
carrying capacity). The ammeter measures the voltage drop across the
shunt and converts that to amps flowing through it (amps =
volts/resistance).

One side went to the starter solenoid and the other to the alternator.
Then each side went to the ammeter...
What is its function?

Looks like it might be a current shunt for an ammeter.

Danny,
Almost looks like a high amp fuse, but I think it is just a block.
Might want to move the bilge pump hose off that wire!
BTW, nice stuffing box, but I don't know the answer to the grease
question.

Another question....
Is this Positive block, just that a positive block or is it
something more?
