Box 10648 Casa Grande, AZ 85230 Telephone (520) 836-1117 (8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday/MST) FAX (520) 836-1104 (24 hours a day) http://www.patricksantiquecars.com/ I found the project easier than I thought it would be. The results are a great improvement: wait until you hear your 6 Volt original horn at 12 Volts. Good luck.

I've burned through a couple of starters over the years, but they are cheap and relatively easy to find. Also, be sure to convert bulbs to 12v at the time of the conversion, and to insert resisters to protect things like your gas gauge, heater motor, etc. Hope this helps.
