Anyone know what do I have to do to make the original sender work with a 12 volt system and a 12 volt gauge?
Thanks

The original 6 V gas tank sending unit will not work with any 12 V system or 12 V gauge. The matching King Sealy OEM 6 volt sending unit will only work with the matching 6 volt gauge that operates on the same King Sealy operating principle as the sending unit.
The easiest way to solve this problem if you convert to a 12V system is to keep your gauges working on 6V using a Constant Voltage Reducer (CVR) which feeds a constant 6 volts to your 6V gauges. Read all about it here including the attached links.
