    I have tried to search, but all the links I come across are broken due to the tech section still be updated. Any have a diagram of what goes where on the back of a 55' 0-10 speedo?? I have what looks like a regulator with two posts that is mounted to the back of the gauge that needs to have power supplied to it before being distributed to the other gauges (ie: fuel/temp) any help, thanks

    Anyone? Speedo works, sending units are good, but I can not get the fuel or temp in either of my two gauges to work.

    :oops::oops: thought about it but decided not to bother you admin guys. I can re search and try to find a couple that sounded like they had good potential. Thanks!

    I appreciate the thought Erik.

    It only takes me a few moments to get the files ready and send them.

    I may not get it done on the exact day that you ask though.

    Not sure if this applies to you or not - Try this - it's mine from a 66 (I should have documented this when I re-wired mine!) - I think it's right but hopefully someone will correct me if it's wrong.

    Notes:
    1. The picture is upside down (i.e. the bottom of the pic is the top of the cluster)
    2. I am running a Delco 12SI - not the original Generator/Alternator
    3. The FSM sometimes shows 2 illumination lights or cluster lights - I only have one, or maybe #6 is a cluster light? Just thought of that.

    Are you staying 6 volt or converting to 12?

    Thanks guys, Mine does have that regulator on it and after reading that last link from Sid ( I had just found that one myself) it sounds like I am on the right track. The JEEP already has a painless kit installed so after reading that I am ok to leave the factory guages in as long as that regulator is working right?

    Davis, thanks a ton for that, that made the light hookup alot clearer even though mine is a touch different (55')
