Opinions are cheep and plenty and this is mine. I agree about the windings but I wonder about the pulsing signal the control emits. Could it be that direct curent would send the guages over the top or pulsing is to aid in slowing down the sensitivity ?? I don`t know if 6 volt systems used a regulator too??? anybody work on them??
Just my 2 cents but I am happy to see corrections made, it has happened to me on another forum but it was more than a correction,, out and out flaming,,, totally uncalled for
WF, six volt systems didn't use a regulator, they ran off of battery voltage. I converted a 53 Plymouth to 12 volts and added the regulator. The guages worked fine and that's why I think that the reason for using the regulator was to simply keep using guages that were already in use. The pulsing voltage has no other function than to keep the AVERAGE voltage to the guage to around six volts. BTW, we had a 55 Plymouth that used six volts. I later had a 56 Plymouth that had a twelve volt system and used the same gas and temp guage as the 55. I think it was just cheaper to add the voltage regulator than to re-design the guages.
