Does anyone have personal experience with a gauge conversion from six volts to 12 volts? I'm aware of resisters being available but my question is about converting the gauge itself to 12 volts. There are tons of companies who advertise but I'm looking for someone who's actually had experience with having it done and can provide first hand feedback. Thanks.

Hi Tiny,

I like your plan to use the converter rather than a resistor.

Also, I am glad to hear that things seem to be working with the blower motor. I did not realize that you were converting the ”˜53 to 12 volts. I assumed that you were just installing a 6 volt alternator like in your ”˜38.
