Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Question. If I replace some of my original HD16 gauges, do I need to take into consideration the 24volt system?

No gauge lighting but was wondering about any electric requirements.

Thank you

Depending on what type of sending unit is used - if electrical - YES needs to be voltage correct , amp gauge doesn't care - mechanical heat or pressure no problem
You may need a resistor in feel voltage if using 12V gauge .
Most hour meters don't care on voltage either as have range they operate in

Gauges on Allis that old should be mechanical.
