My brother emailed me a quiz. He owned a 1954 Ford convertible back in high school and was wondering what he would need to convert it from 6 to 12 volts. He did in fact convert a Palmer marine engine from 6 to 12 in 2 hours some years ago. Here is the quiz:
Which of these items would have to be changed or modified on that Ford to convert it from 6 to 12 volts? I guessed 4 items. This would also be a good primer for anyone thinking of converting a 6V American car.
1. Starter
2. Generator
3. Distributor
4. Ballast resistor
5. Light bulbs
6. Headlights
7. Wiring
8. Radio
9. Heaher
10. Computer
11. Dashboard gauges
12. Other.
