The others have all said it well. Bob M captured what everyone said in a nutshell. I would either fix the 6 volt system and use it that way, or switch completely to 12 volts. Doing otherwise will give you a cobbled-up system. To me, I've always considered 8 volts to be a partial fix for a 6 volt system that isn't installed/maintained correctly. You run into other problems with 8 volts too, including shortened point and lamp life. You'd need a unique-sized ballast resistor, to say the least. As for alternators, a Delco will fit nicely under the hood of an M. The fit is a bit more difficult for an H, from what I've heard. Yes, you can go with the Hitachi or Nippondenso alternators. Accomodating the wiring is easy - the terminals are labeled a bit differently, that's all. I'm not familiar with the Ford (Motorcraft) alternators, so I can't give you advice on installing one of those. Otherwise, go with whatever you can find.
