Recently a friend gave me a GMC cluster gauge from his 53 GMC. I have a 50 Chevy 3100. I needed the higher oil pressure gauge due to my new 56 engine. The Battery gauge does not appear to work it does not move. Do I have to reverse the wires so it accommodates the GMC positive ground? Is it true the GMC is positive ground and the Chevy is negative ground?

53 GMCs had 'battery gauges'? .... yes GMC's were pos ground, up to 55 I believe, but that doesn't matter to an an ammeter, it'll read backwards if it's hooked up backwards
