You have a valid reason for going back to 6V. The only reason I"d do it would be if I was going to restore one back to original for shows. I don"t claim to be an expert, but the first thing I"d do is evaluate the wiring. If the previous conversion made many changes, I"d buy a new harness. That alone will answer a bunch of questions and lead you in the right direction. You will need a 6V voltage regulator. Your"s was probably removed since the 1-wire alternator has an internal regulator. Remove any resistor that may have been added to the ignition to drop 12-volts down to 6-volts or, if the coil was switched to a 12-volt coil, you will need to get a new 6-volt coil. Light bulbs: All will have to be replaced with 6-volt bulbs. Battery: You will need a 6V battery and heavy gauge cables. Don"t forget to hook it up positive ground and you will have to polarize your new generator to get it charging once you get it all together. There are numerous how-to descriptions available. Hope this helps. I"m sure several others will leap in here with their $0.02.
