Pretty sure you can use any ignition switched 12v source. Sorry I can't check, I've got the ammeter gauge (which has since been disabled).

Big difference between voltmeter and ammeter. If it's an ammeter, I wouldn't even bother getting it working because the needle rarely moves enough to notice anything. If you are concerned about voltage, I'd get a regular voltmeter gauge and just hook a regular 12v power source (like already mentioned).
