George, The low voltage current switching portion of the distributor (points and condensor) is NOT a particular voltage sensitive or caring device ITS JUST A CURRENT SWITCH to conduct the coils current (regardlss if 6 or 12 volt coil) when points are closed and break it when they are open on high cam.
The points and condensor dont know or care so much about voltage so long as its not so high it would cause points or condensor failure. The voltage withstand ratings of the points n condensor is wayyyyyyyyyyy higher then merely 6 or 12 volts anyway. They dont make a distributor to handle only 6 volts while another one can handle 12 THEY ARE THE SAME and switch the coils approximate 4 amps REGARDLESS if its a 6 or 12 volt coil. The voltage rating of the points n condensor is more like in the hundreds of volts NOT only a mere 6 or 12. The distributor will work n dont care if you have a 6 or 12 volt tractor or coil ITS JUST A SWITCH THAT closes when points close n opens when they are open and can do that regardless if theres 1 or 6 or 12 or 50 voltsat its input terminal/stud
SO AGAIN A distributor IS NOT a 6 or 12 volt distributor THEY ARE THE SAME N DONT KNOW OR CARE. When you convert from 6 to 12 volts you for sure DO NOT have to change or convert the distributor !!!!!!!!!!! Its ONLY a current switch and it and its points n condensor can withstand wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy higher then 6 or 12 anyway.
AGAIN a 6 volt coil is NOT a 12 volt coil, see my post above so if anyone tries to tell you different they are just plain WRONG
Hope this helps n dont be worried if you cant understand what a person does who has a lifetime od training n experience can. Great questions n I hope you understand this.......

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
