Re: [T3] gas gauge in 12v conversion?

	You guys'n'gals are no fun.  Absolutely *no* fun....

	Ok, I will take apart a 6v and a 12v (both white-needle) gauge and
start comparing electronic components... see what's different, see if I
can transfer components from 12v gauge to 6v.

	Actually, I played with putting a ~1971ish 12v fuel gauge subunit
in a '66 gauge/idiot light body.  It worked, but the fit was a wee bit
funny, as I recall.  I was seeing if I liked the looks of the old-stye
idiot lights.

	I think I like the iconified idiot lights better, though... I may
want to end up w/ red needle subgauge, 12-volted, with the newer idiot
lights... bwahaha...
