Amp gauge question.

[B1B Keven]

Can a '51-'52 car gauge be flipped over and used in a pickup (switching the wires so it reads correctly)?

I need a top swinging need 50 amp gauge and the cars are bottom swingers.

Thanks!

I would say yes. If it is hooked up backward it reads in reverse so you should be good. Look at step 4.

That assume that you have a working charging system installed. Easier, switch key to o if gauge moves to positive its wired backwards. If you can't see any movement, turn on the headlamps.
