Just put the resister in the back of the fuel gauge on the "hot wire" to
lower the 12V to 6V. The guage will read 1/2 full when the tank is full
without the resister.

I just put a v8 in my '49 chevy and am trying to know
if anyone can tell me how I should wire the gas gauge.
Whether it be a diagram or disciption any help would
be nice. I got a resistor for the gauge but confused
on the corect way since gauge is for 6v(original).
Thanks in advance Greg
