I bought the car last spring from a local car guy. His favorite part about it was confusing people on what the car actually was. Its tagged as a '52 Dodge Kingsway, but I've been finding a lot of things on the car seems to be from different years and models. I'm new to the car, so correct me if I'm wrong. I've been doing lots of research, and can't find the Kingsway with the torpedo style trunk back, but I've found that the Wayfarer matches more to what I have. But! The licence plate bezel, trunk handle, and tail lights to more suit what the Plymouth Cambridge had. Although the Wayfarer had the badge of the front fenders below the chrome trim, my car has the Kingsway badges above the chrome trim.. Again, correct me if im wrong. I would appreciate some more knowledge on what I have. So far I'm going with the theory that the factory that assembled it did it on a friday afternoon, and just used what ever they had laying around for body parts that day

Haha Thank you! those pil have been the relief to a lot of long nights on the car. Im from Moose Jaw

My plan was to run a chevy alternator in the car so ill have the voltage regulator built in with that, Just a little less messing around considering the whole car will be 12v. My thoughts are after talking to a friend is to just run a resistor before the gauge to make sure it is only getting 6v and not the full 12

Hey ladies and gents, Im new to the group. I recently bought a '52 kingsway which is on its way to be far from stock. Biggest issue I have right now is that all of the stock wiring has been scrapped With that, Im wondering if the stock fuel gauge will handle 12 volts? and if not, is it as easy as adding a resistor? Also, there's a nut with a stud on the gauge, as well as a bullet connector..which one goes to the tank? Thanks in advance!
