51 gauges

I seen some where that a new stock set of gauges for a f-1 was made as a 12V set up. Can any one help me with this?

Ford used the gauges all the way into the 70s (on their bread trucks). The gauges were still 6V, but had a drop down resistor for 12V attached. The resistors were from the factory.

Try Bob's Speedometers (Google the name), as they may be able to help you.

You don't really need the Ford OE resistor. You can use any dropdown resistors. The Runtz resistors were popular, but I think they're discontinued now.

(sigh) Another clueless ebay seller! There is no way-NONE, that this one ICVR fits all "1964"-1986 Mustangs...because there are four different types. ICVR's regulate flow of 'juice' to the gauges.

B9MZ-10804-C (1965/66-bolts to cluster back) / C6DZ-10804-A (1967/68-bolts to cluster back) / C9AZ-10804-A (1969/73-use w/printed circuit only) / D1AZ-10804-A (1974/86-use w/printed circuit only).

Two of these ICVR's use a specific dash harness plug, two others plug into the printed circuit board, but are years specific. And every one of these fits far more vehicles than just Mustangs.

This puppy is: B9MZ-10804-C (replaced: B7J-10804-A) .. ICVR (Motorcraft GR-508) / Obsolete

Applications: 1957/66 P Series Parcel Delivery / 1959/66 full sized Ford Passenger Cars/Thunderbirds / 1960/65 Falcon/Fairlane / 1961/66 F100/1100 / 1965/66 Mustang / 1966/77 Bronco.

Every autoparts store carries ICVR's, so there no need to buy 'em on ebay...especially from sellers that have no clue!
