    Good day everyone,
    If you’re planning to convert your flat fender 6v system over to 12v or need to better understand what previous owner did as part of the conversion, this is a good reference article. It’s an easy read and hopefully provide some additional insight into automotive electronics.
    Making a 6v to 12v Conversion Easy!

    I recently went through the complete 12v wiring system on my ‘46 2a and needed more info on 2 ballast resistors under dash (NAPA VT6187 Echlin or Painless VR1 voltage reducer), one is feeding 6v fuel gauge, the other suppling power to heater motor. I also have the 6v starter and distributor still in the system.


    Pic testing fuel gauge with 2” of gas in tank, because we like pictures :)
