12 volt conversion for starter in 1951
Permalink  

back again..........this winter I plan on doing the 6 volt to 12 volt switch. So far I have the alternator, coil with built in resister, capacitor for points, resistors for gauges and new fan motor. I made the brackets to adapt the alt to the motor and have the correct pulley. I was told the starter will work and I need to change the solenoid to a 12volt one, does anyone know which starter solenoid I need to do the change.

thanks

I've been running the 6volt solenoid on my converted 51 and it's working well ....

Unless you think you're going to start the engine for a long period of time, the 6V solenoid will do just fine

Going on about 7 years with the same 6 volt starter and solenoid - no problems yet, but I also don't let it crank a long time. I'd run it till it dies and then have it rebuilt to 12v
Cheers

hey guys...........thanks again for your help, I think I will just wing it with the 6v starter and sol for now and see what happens, she's a good starting car so I can't see me overloading it. I have a spare started I can tinker with to see what will work in the event of a seizure or burn out.
