Thanks again to all for your help. I think I understand it now. Sorry I
dragged the thread on for so long. And yes it was a non-LBC question (1948
Ford F1) and I should have specified it as so. I am sorry if this upsets
anyone on the list. Hopefully it was more informative than the flame-fests
we have every once in a while.

Thanks for all the information,

Jack,
If all you are going to run off of it is the gauges I would recommend
Randall's suggestion of using an IC voltage regulator. (I take it this
isn't for a TR) Gauges only use a small fraction of an amp each. All the
gauges together will use less than an amp and your Volta-drop won't work
like you want it to.
