One thing not mentioned is the faster spin of the 6 volt starter running on 12 volts. If you have a cantankerous starting Engine the faster spin can be a blessing. Another advantage is you don’t have to pull the transmission and clutch and change out the flywheel. Install your 12 volt generator and call it good. Stovebolt has a very helpful Tech Tip on 12 volt conversion. Search the Tech Tips at the top of the page.
