Johan,
The alternator and battery are connected together, so the voltage at each
should be the same (if the wiring is in good shape!). The actual connection
of the gauge depends on who installed it. I don't think Saab ever shipped
cars with voltmeters from the factory, so there's no "standard" place to
connect it.
The best use of a voltmeter is to know how it behaves when everything is
working OK. Then, you can detect a problem by noticing "unusual" readings.
