Just saw all your posts about the 6 to 12 volt Plymouth deal. I had a 52 ply and now have a 49 Ply. ,both were 6 volt . If everything is good starter, WIRES., battery etc the 6 volt stuff works fine. I drove the 52 EVERY day for 2 years and it didnt start just 1 time[out of time] and 20 degrees outside. I dont start the 49 for sometimes 2 or 3 weeks and have to crank it for quite a while with no problem. A fork lift battery to fit , a 1 wire alt. 6 volt rebuilt starter and large battery wires and you are good to go. You will replace these things anyway. Just a thought for you.

,
6 volt can at times be reliable and I'm keeping my '51 Chevy 6 volt. Light bulbs and ign parts are often hard to find and have to be ordered so a failed ign condensor or coil could have the car on the side of the road for a day or so, that's most people's reason for converting. I run a TSC 6v tractor battery in mine.
