Re[2]: 6v to 12v

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

I realize that I like the challenge of a custom ride but this conversion 
sounds like too much trouble -- is it really worth it?  I guess if you're 
going to *totally* redo the car (pan off and all that) it wouldn't be much 
hassle, but sheeesh!

TimD=> A few months ago I wrote an extensive list of things to do when
=> changing from 6 volts to 12 volts. ... Did anybody save that list,
=> and the supplement?

Yup, and a good list it was --
...
Change the cast aluminum fan housing, and install the larger 12v
generator.  It is possible to get a 12v generator the same size as a 6v,
so that you do not have to change the fan housing.  Try Bill & Steve.

Change the coil.

Change the chokes.

Change the idle cut-off solenoids.
