I'm using the original 5v gauge voltage regulator on 12v without any issue. The gauges are actually 5 volt, not 6 volts as were many ford gauge into the 70s. Packard used the same voltage regulator on 1954 6v cars as they did on 55/56 12v cars. The gauges need a steady 5v, not the 6-7.2v that the generator/battery is putting out. This is why the voltage regulator is used.
