Can anyone help with parts, where i can buy them?
A. 9278B Engine unit - oil pressure gauge.
B. 26491/123 Speedometer cable comp1ete.

The second question is the BC will work on 12V instead of 6V I have the original gauges to work on 6V How can I lower the voltage to 6V and the reading will be accurate.

Regards
Israel

Hi Isreal, Macs autos sell resistors to suit the ford commercial guages.
I cant recall exactly what you have there. Mechanical gauges obviously don't require them.
Electric gauges for temperature, oil pressure, volt meter and fuel level do require them, however an ammeter does not.
There are two types of oil pressure senders. The one you use depends on your engine and which oil pump you are using. The earlier one is for the old long pump and is harder to find as a new item. The later higher pressure one goes with the short oil pump. It is readily available. I cannot remember all the details about matching the original gauge to the higher pressure sender unit. Some research on your part will be required.

Yesterday I could have a look at this UC.
Here are the findings, plus a question to the knowledgeable ones:

Lower tub, Dominion bridge serial: 22543c
Ford of Canada serial: 23523
Ford production date: 14 Jan 1944

So far, matching numbers. However -
WD census is CT162220.

Per MLU's lists, CT1622** were produced in late 1942. The question remains as to how it was allocated to a vehicle produced some 15 months later.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Could you please clarify what carrier you are looking at? As you are presently posting on a thread about what is clearly a different carrier, perhaps it would be more appropriate to start a different thread and provide some images with your narrative.

So far your observations about the apparent gap in the numbers does make it appear there is an obvious mistake. I am thinking the WD number may belong to a November, 1942 production UC-2 mortar carrier built on a factory MK-I* hull.
