Don,
We were just trying to keep you (and anybody who reads this thread in the future) from making a mistake. It's because we care. My post is redundant because Jerry and I were posting almost at the same time and I didn't see his comments, so sorry if it seemed a bit strident.
Nice and clean looking engine.

Kent your answer was the best of the bunch and I took no offense.
I get all my advise on this Stovebolt site. The #$&@# 8 volt comments came from this page. I believe the biggest reason to use 8 volts is it does work with 6 volt equipment and it makes headlights brighter. I have “standard” head lights and don’t like them. I’m not switching to a 12 volt alternator set up. Just asking.
This is like the third or fourth time I posted a question and got no answer to the actual question and nothing but grief.
