The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Why won't the 12v to 6v ceramic reducers work for gauges?

Mike B , I built a solid state voltage reducer from radio shack parts, cost about 18.00 bucks, found the plan on a ford truck site, I still have it somewhere, PM me if you need.
Anyhow, it's in a 51 f1 12volt running all three stock guages without fail for three years so far, driven daily. I futzed with the a few IVR ford parts from napa and original, never liked em, the gauges aren't steady, you can put a meter on em and watch the voltage jump all over the place..
