Correct, you need to reduce voltage to the gauge back down to 6 if used in a 12v system.

I bought the replacement sender from Dennis Carpenter and used it (with a reducer) on my 48, and got the gauge working.
I would recommend it, but a couple of hours ago it suddenly stopped working. I haven't figured out why yet.

This is not a repro, it's NOS and it was FoMoCo's "service part replacement" for the original senders.
It does not come with the float and rod, these have to be taken off the original and installed on this sender.
