Patrick's recommends using the 6V starter on the newer 12V system. Has anyone done this without any problems? Unless I hear otherwise, I'm planning to stick with the original flywheel, clutch, starter, and throw-out bearing from the '49.
Good Luck!
Dan M. I went that route and it works ok except the timing ball location is different for the 216 which renders a timing light useless.
