Why not use two 6 volt batteries connected in series? That way you would
have 12 volts for the starter and engine and 6 volts for the existing
wiring.

Subject: [oletrucks] Bulb Numbers
|Can anyone please tell me the correct group number for the gauge
illumination bulbs (and assuming
|the high beam indicator bulb is the same), and head lights for my '50 in
*12V*.
|
|In the tech section of the www.chevytrucks.org site, it says that
"Beginning around 1950, some
|vehicles have a small voltage regulator behind the dash that supplies a
stable voltage supply for the
|instruments....This isolates the instruments from the effects of varying
battery and generator voltage."
|I also have a 6V temperature gauge (in addition to the gas gauge) I need to
drop the voltage for and
|was wondering about specifics on these little regulator gizmos. Does
anyone know about them, and
|where I could get a repro or a substitution? If not, does anyone know off
the top of their head what
|value and size resistor I should use for the gas and temp gauges (I looked
on the tech site and
|couldn't find it)?
|
|Thanks,
|Allen in Seattle
