I have a '48 chevy bigbolt that has a 12 volt regulator and a starter with a solenoid instead of the foot starter (assuming it's 12 volt). It has an oil gage that looks newer than the others. My oil gage works. My fuel gage works. My temp is fed with a tube so that's no concern. I've replaced the head lights and all bulbs. So with everything working do I really need reducers?
