There are reducers for this that do not require any knowledge of the current draw. A simple solution is to use any later model Ford voltage drop unit, salvage yards are full of them and not that expensive new. Something like a 65 Mustang will work, Ford used the same type of 6v gauges up into the 80s I believe, so they all required a voltage dope unit.

Re: current draw king seely gauges As stated all that is needed is one Ford instrument cluster voltage reducer such as this from EBAY as well as others ---

Re: current draw king seely gauges Each gauge and sender draws about 600 mA, at least on my '52 truck. So peak max draw of 3.6 amps.
I had one like 51-Merc linked to, and could see the voltage regulator cycling on the gauges. I switched to this type and they are rock steady: (edited to correct unit) https://www.ebay.com/itm/26402911996...UAAOSwNo9b439q |

Re: current draw king seely gauges Do you mean the ammeter? It has no effect on that, only oil pressure, gas, and temp gauges.
