My 31 came with a 12 volt, negative ground, alternator system. I like the faster cranking, 12volt compatibility with electronic devices, and capability to get a readily available jump. If I had a perfectly working 6 volt system I would not change it. There is something to keeping everything original, but I also have seat belts, turn indicators, and electronic ignition. Everything works great and has proven to be reliable. A regular topic on the forum is generator problems which is often the reason the 12 volt alternator system upgrade is contemplated. In the end it is really just a personal choice.
