I've had a '49 8n for about 9 years. It still has the 6 volt charging system. This spring when I went to start it up, It started normally and began charging normally. Then the guage went haywire and i found that the generator wires were so old that the insulation had fell off in spots and apparently shorted the wires together and to the case. I think it blew the generator. Guess I'll probably go ahead and convert to 12 volt now. My question is, what all is required for the changeover, and are the kits I see on the net worth it?? If so, where to get the best one for the cash. I have also heard of some voltage devider to install that will allow use of the existing 6 volt starter. Anyone know about that and where it can be gotten. I really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance for any replies.
