Electrical polarity question

I'm putting a sv304 in my KB1. It is 12 volt, negative ground. I can step down 12 to 6 volts for the dash gauges (like fuel, etc.) but how does changing from positive ground to negative ground affect the gauges?
Thanks.

Re: Electrical polarity question

Polarity has no effect on the temp, oil and fuel gauges used in the K series. The ammeter will read backwards unless the wire are swapped on the back, but most don't end up using the ammeter.
