Hi Gene, I agree. I'm not sure about the "quirks" of these old cars when going from 12V DC to 12V AC. Seems like it could be straight forward...but I'm often not suprised when things are not as expected. I was hoping someone here was familiar with the conversion process and could let me know what to watch out for/expect.
