    On mine (i believe its standard) it isnt a "gauge", so not mechanical, there is a pressure switch (just like your brake light pressure switch) that just tells you if you have low pressure... just a warning light.

    Also, I have had my 64 converted to 12v. Is this going to be a problem for this spedometer cluster since they were originally 6v systems?

    Are you 100% sure, because prior owner says mine was converted to 12v and it is a 1964 cj5. I am not sure that is why I am asking...not saying that you are wrong becuase I do not know:rofl::driving:It also had vaccume wipers untill converted. Also the fuel pump was replaced by myself and it was the vaccume type as well......??
