I bet that's it - I'll experiment with that and see. I have the HD fan also.

I agree. But it's what came with the instrument set when I built the car. Besides, I also have a 67 Plymouth GTX with 49 year old wiring and an amp gage. It's about 35 years over due to have an instrument panel fire so I'm kind of used to living with the risk. One of these days I will get around to switching to a volt gage in both of them.
