I wouldn't put an analog voltmeter in a circuit smc's in it. But the gauges on the dash are analog and magically they don't hurt anything. Putting the meter in line like an ammeter shouldn't effect anything, at best it would be a floating ground connection, you might lose the meter in a worst case that's all.
No worries looks like he is replacing the regulator anyway.
