I don't follow what you're saying. From what wire or point is voltage gauge measuring from?

When you're getting "around 12.2 if I have headlights, wipers, blower motor going" do you continue to have about 14.6 at your bus bar and at battery?
Sorry, what I mean to say is I've done a volt gauge conversion using an 80's c10 gauge, positive connected to the temp gauge positive. Using multimeter hooked directly to the battery, there is no significant voltage drop when any accessories are used. Using a multimeter on the fuse block, and acc ignition wire, it is verifying the voltage gauge needle movements; as more accessories are turned on, the voltage drop gets worse.

I ruled out the gauge itself by connecting directly to the battery, and it reads correctly.
