Ok, neither of them worked

Do i just ask for a resistor from 12 to 9 volts or what?

The proper name is the instument cluster voltage regulator. It will be listed in their ignition, switches, sensors catalog. If they can't find it post back and I'll get a part number they can use or interchange.

It could be that you need a load on it in order to get it to work? Not sure but you might try hooking up the gauge on the output side.

I think as a regulator it makes adjustments to keep a constant output to the gauge for proper readings. I don't know if a resistor would maintain a steady output to the gauge.

FWIW I have a wiring diagram for '66 Mustang and it has a drawing of the cluster parts. The ICVR is pictured with spade terminals- a single spade on the power side and a dual spade on the gauge side.
