If you plan on pulling much, 12 volt is the answer, because I'm sure the engine overhaul will provide a few more internal ponies and the amps provided by a 12 volt system will come in handy for starting & the coil will provide much better spark. The lights will also be a bit brighter.
You can certainly tune one to start easy and a 6 volt will work just fine, but at pulls you are lucky if it starts after getting hot and sitting between weight classes, you find yourself praying the battery charges enough in time.
There are advantages & dis-advantages to both, so I beleive after hearing so many stories from ' The best thing I have ever done" to
" Didn't make much difference" I think it boils down to personal preference.
Twelve volt starters & generators are much harder to find but if you prefer to keep it original looking they are certainly out there, they will also probably need to be rebuilt. The bulbs, wiring, voltage regulators & coils are prevalent. So I would say it's up to you, if you decide to go 12 you have many options, if you stay with six, the wiring will need updating, along with rebuilding what you have on hand.
