I'm building a complete new 12 volt system in a 40 standard now. I bought the 12 volt conversion guide booklet from Drake. It is written by Fifth Ave Antique Auto Parts in Clay Center Kansas and is quite complete and thorough. They reccommend their "Runtz" voltage drop ( approx. $18 each ) for all the instruments but the volt guage. They reccommend having the volt guage converted to 12 volt which I am having done now at ADT Instruments Intl. Inc. in Bloomington Minn. They restored the complete cluster as well.
