Kaiser Forum / 53 manhattan 12 volt coversion

« on: August 06, 2009, 09:10:43 PM »

OK so here's what i got my 53 has a Chevy v8 engine and Chevy tranny. the rear end problem i had is fixed now with the help of BACA differential here in Vegas. so now I'm doing the wiring and upgrading the old stuff. i would really like to keep the original cluster for my gauges BUT its set up for 6 volt and i want to get rid of the Volta drop ballast that was installed when i got the car. my question would be is there somewhere that i can get a set of gauges for this thing that look like the original but are 12 volt? i would also need to find a gas tank sending unit that is also 12 volt. the fuel gauge is my main concern the other gauges if needed i could run a set of triple gauges under the dash. i don't want to do it that way but i will if i have too. let me know any ideas!

Kaiser Forum / new to the group

« on: July 18, 2009, 09:35:00 AM »

ok well after waiting for 3 months to get approved to this group im finally in. lol. i did some tradin and wound up with a 53 manhattan. the body and interior is all original but the drive train has been swapped for a chevy v8, 327. its a very clean car i was out puttin around and the rearend locked up on me. and come to find out when i tore it down it didnt have any fluid in it so now im puttin bearngs in the thing. what a pain to get apart too. now here is the question the pinion might need to be replaced. now it has the original rearend in it so where can i get a new pinion if i need it. im in vegas, so i will be putting air in it too so if there is any kits made for these cars please let me know.
