Thanks that makes its easier to know that the gauges will work.
I dont get much time to work on my car and sort of lost my way with it but have recently gone back to it and need to keep focused on the goal (Driving my uber classic very rare in australia 2 door 1949 Packard)!!!!!
Cant wait to instal my 50th anniversary gold gauges in with my restored wood grain dash!!!

Thanks.
I think i might use the diodes for the gauges this will make it easier as I can just run them from the fuse box that i have installed on the inside of the firewall as i am rewiring the whole car from scratch!!
I have installed a new 12 volt coil and changed the wires around.
I will make some enquiries at my local auto elect and see if he can convert the starter over.
If i just change the polarity on the gauges will that work?

Thanks just had a look at that parts shop also found that i can use a 6 volt inline diode which i have seen at the electronics shop Jaycar just need to reserch the correct specifications.

Thanks for that I will see if they are available over here im sure there will be an equivalent available.
Do i need to change anything in tegards to going from a positive ground to negative ground?
And will my amp meter work if i just change the polarity?

Hi
Yes my project is still on going!!!!
I would like to know what i need to do to run the gauges on a 12 volt negative ground system?

Hi was just wanting to know what could be the most likely cause for a very smoky engine.
It blows a large amount of WHITE smoke all the time.
Was thinking it may not actually be a ring problem.
This is for a friend who has recently purchased the 1938 120 sedan and he was un able to obtain any history from the previous owner, car has been restored at some stage, so more than likely the engine has had a rebuild.

Thanks will look into that

Hi would like to know where I might be able to source some screw in washer jets.
Mine have blanking screws fitted they have the tube fitted that goes through to the cabin to fit the washer hose.
cheers Ron

No worries thanks for all the info now i now what its for and when im at autobahn or repco next i will ask them as i dont think i will be able to buy that particular brand here in oz!!!
Cheers

It goes inti the manifold or the bottom of the carbi.
And yes it does smoke on start up but not all the time I just put that down to it needing a good "blow out" down the road!
So how long should that fluid last and what fluid would i top it up with?
Would it be an upper cylinder lube that you buy for cars that are on gas (Lpg)?
