Converting to 12 v is a very good mover for most applications, but not necessary for a local use "OLD" car. The biggest advantage is::::: You can go anyplace with it. Done properly. I've done many, and never used a 12 converted starter. Always carried a spare, but never used it. I also install an in tank fuel pump, that solves the fuel system. and never use a belt driven fam, only electric. Convert the water pups with same pulleys for a one narrow belt Altinator drive / Modernizing the accessory drive on the engine also eliminates problens for long distant drive.
I could go on here and replace to trans to T170 and a8" ford rear This way you can use the original wheels and nobody will know Probably good for 110K with just general maintenance.
