It should, but you'll probably need to install a foot start switch with the small terminal on the side. Rock Auto has them at a reasonable price. A wire is run from the small terminal to the (+) terminal of the coil, and bypasses the resistor to provide full battery voltage during cranking. That switch was used on foot-start 12 volt 235/261 applications, so it's the best way to do things when a 12 volt ignition system is used, even on a conversion of a 6 volt truck.
