To all 6v experts;

Bill W. is finishing up on a 6-12v conversion of a 444...it has already and run under its own power in the process of being finalized and cleaned up. The experience will be documented in a SwEm article * currently in the process of being written, for the benefit of others interested in this conversion.

I seek a few more info items.

Can someone with a fuel gauge confirmed to have come from a 6v instrument cluster please look at the input resistor on the power lead (after removing from cluster) and let me know what value it is. On 12v instrumentation this value was 82ohms. I would like to compare these values(and if they were different). Also, can someone with the documentation compare Part nos. on the two and inform me if they are the same or different...also the sending unit.

From the (German) VDO data sheet **, the gauges are quite forgiving of system voltage variations (from actual power up tests, even when operating a 12v gauge and sender on 6v, there is only a slight drop in indication), so I'm lead to believe the same part (PN) may have been used.

Thanks in advance for responses!
