55 F100 6 volt positive ground..still..Can I connect the Fuel, Oil, Temp, and Battery all to the accy terminal on my ignition switch, or does the Battery need a separate feed to work properly? Thanks I have a light for the Batt/Gen, not a gauge.
 
I was looking at the diagram and it shows the power wire coming from the light switch that connects to the ignition switch. The other two switch terminals are the ignition coil terminal and the accessory terminal. All of the instrument panel gauges show to be in series from the accessory terminal. In other words they are all jumpered to the first connection at the oil pressure gauge for power. It wouldn't need separate connections from the switch to each gauge. This leaves room for other accessories at the switch terminal.

The power terminal or bat terminal or what ever it's labeled, has to be separate from the other items to control them with the switch. The accessory items can be turned on separately from the ignition so the coil won't get fried when listening to the radio and such when the engine isn't running. When the switch is turned to run, all the items will be on line.
