Re: [FWDLK] 6 volt and 12 volt gauges are the same? 1955/1956

["Mike @ Sharon Higgins" <clearcreek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting question; when I modified my ‘55 Plymouth, I left the starter intact.  Since the car started quickly, and I didn’t need to crank it long, I gained the speed and power of an overvoltage starter. It really spun the Poly.

I am under the understanding that on 1956 12 volt cars (Dodge/Plymouth) that the gauges are the same 6 volt, and that on 12 volt cars there is a resistor to compensate for the different voltages is this true and if so a 55 temp gauge should work on my 56 with the resistor in place.?.
