Yes, you will need a reducer/resistor (if it has already been converted to
12 volts, check for a resistor in line to the wire that already goes to the
gauge; if the gauge is already wired up, but no resistor in place, that me
be why your gauge doesn't work-burned up with 12 volts applied-that takes
only a few seconds or less!).
2. No, lights for gauges & speedo are part of headlight circuit-nothing to
do with current from tank to gauge.

Subject: [oletrucks] Electrical Questions - horn and gas gauge
> Hi - My son purchased a 51 3100 Chevy.
> It was already converted to 12V.
> There is no horn relay, so I need to buy a generic one - anyone have any
idea where, part number, etc?
> Also, the gas gauge doesn't work - the lights in the gauge do work
though - does that mean there is power there for the gas gauge - will I need
a power reducer between the sender and the gauge?
> Thanks for any help.
