Stumpy..... ....most N's are converted to 12 volts as a bandaide to starting a wornout engine by hitting the 6 volt starter with 12 volts to really spinett. But the laws of physics can't be repealed, 12 volts on a 6 volt starter gonnna have twice as many amps draw as 6 volts on the same starter. I'm not trying to talk you outta converting to 12 volts, just pointing out a few things, like 6 volt headlights arn't that difficult to find. And gotta confess that ol' 6 volt starter sounds like its on its dying leggs to ears used to modern rice-rocketts 12 volt whizzers. And if'n ya wants yer new 6 volt frontmount coil to live the winter on a 12 volt conversion, ya gotta use BOTH the "infamous ballast resistor" mounted on the backside of your dash panel AND a 12 to 6 volt converting resistor. Hook'em up in series like flashlight batterys between the ignition switch ON and the coil terminal. And unlike flashlight batterys, resistors don't care who is first or backwards. I always let you ask your local automotive electrical parts person to supply a 12 to 6 volt converting resistor. Mak'em look'em up and earn their money 'cuz theres about 4 different resistor manufacturers outthere with different part numbers to electrically accomplish the same thing; convert 12 volts to 6 volts..... .Dell, who reminds you of the 6 VOLT MANTRA: "keep'em clean, bright, and tight".
