I’ve had the original 6V positive ground system on all my Model A’s since I bought my first one in 1967, and have had no issues other than periodic battery replacement.

The main reason many switched to 12V is no longer valid, as LED headlights can now be easily run on the original electrical system, and USB charging ports will also work on a 6V system.

Good luck with your car, whatever you decide to do.
