It's very common to convert 6v to 12v; Ford did it in 56. Why? Cars were being equipped with more power accessories, and higher-compression engines required more cranking power. Whether you have 6v, 8v, or 12v, all of the components should be in good condition.

Just an update .. decided to abandon my idea of controlling all the voltage at the input .. Just adjusted the regulator down to 8.5 from 9.5 , seems easier on bulbs with no issues Thanks for all your opinions and coments . I'll let you know if anything arises Fred

You may find out that the 8.5 will not keep your battery fully charged. Normal 6 volt systems usually require around 7 or so volts and 12 volt systems around 13.5- 14.2 volts to keep the battery fully charged. fast freddy (6/24/2024)
