It will either overcharge the battery and/or blow out all the bulb filaments, burn the ignition points, and possibly destroy the gas gauge. Someone would have had to rewire the stator and rotor of the alternator for a 6V output and then fashion some sort of regulator to limit the voltage to a maximum of 7.5 volts against a fully charged 6V battery.
