Thanks so much and I just listed it in the swap meet.

I converted my 6 V to 12 V flathead six and have a generator that worked fine along with a basically new ignition coil and new regulator. Also have a 6 V battery that was barely used. I don’t want to see these at the junkyard. If anybody interested just make me an offer. Parsons Kansas is in the...

I converted my 49 flathead engine over to 12 V from six. I have a 6 V battery barely used along with a generator that worked fine. New solenoid, new coil and bracket for the generator. Anybody have a use for these parts? I hate to just pitch these if somebody could use them. Thanks.

Thanks.

Can anyone tell me where to buy a reasonably priced 6 to 12 volt conversion kit for a 1949 Ford F1 pickup? I have the flathead 6 cylinder in it. Thanks, Rod

Re:6 to 12 volt I have a 49 F1 flathead six and heard that you don't have to convert everything over just the alternator, a converter for the 6 volt heater and instruments but can use the old starter. Someone also told me about an 8 volt battery but never heard of that one????? I am brand new...
