I think from memory the voltage was kept at 6 volts. to test the guages you would use a 1.5 volt aa battery should read quarter on fuel guage.
The voltage regulator for the xk to xp and compacts guages was from about an inch long on some and about two and a half inches long on others.
Hope you find helpful.

Racking my brain 69 XT falcon 500 turn ignition either on or start and both temp and fuel creep up to past hot and past full is it possible to put a regulator prior to temp gauge? 😉
