Default Re: 6 Volts versus 12

I've been driving six-volt iron since getting my license over 25 years ago.

I have never felt compelled to change to 12-volts; the six-volt stuff has always worked.

My 87,000-mile '28 Special Coupe came with a six-volt positive-ground alternator already in it; it works, so I'm not planning to change it. Have toured nearly 7,000 miles with it in just under two years, no dead batteries, fried alternators, cooked starters or any other ugly stuff. It starts and runs, winter and summer.


If the rig you have is working fine and suits your needs, why change it ?
