Model B has a wider gap. Don't worry about the ticking, its the one's that don't make a noise you should worry about.......

"How about the starter, many leave it wired for 6 volts, others have it rewired for 12 volts." I did this to my car (left it 6v) and pulled the ring gear off a few times, want to go through all that work to repair that??
