I run 12 v on all of my Model As. Changing the obvious coil, globes, dropping resistor for the horn and converting the starter to 12 volts are about all that is required. EASY!
Before I converted the first one, I considered the availability of parts in remote areas and about 3,000 miles into the next trip, we were in a smallish town and the coil failed. I was able to buy a new 12 volt one easily but I think I'd still be there if I had to have a 6 volt one. I got to like 12 v so much I then converted the others.
