Thanks

12 volt bat., gen-reg or alt-reg.,all light bulbs. Coil & resister. Starter switch with bypass. Resister for gas gauge (see posts nearby).12volt heater motor or resister,. Radio.Turn signal flasher. If i,ve left anything out fellow bolters help out.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

spyder68,

Just in case you have not yet checked out the Tech Section of this site (see Tech Tips at the top of this apge), here is the 12 volt conversion Tech Tip.

The EL110 resistor that is listed at the bottom of that page might not be a Runtz resistor , which is recommended by many (but not all) people.

You might want to get a copy of The Offical 12-Volt Conversion Guide from Fifth Avenue or Speedway Motors. The book is a step by step guide and explains everything you need to do to get it righ the first time.....Randy
