I have researched and there seems many ways to convert. The rest of the car has been converted. what is the most simple way. emphasis on simple. that's how I like things and that's why I like Model A's


thankyou in anticipation. gary
The "6 volt field coils" get replaced with "12 volt field coils". That's it. It's actually pretty easy to do. If you have a good automotive starter and generator/alternator rebuilding shop near you (we have a couple in Houston) they can do it for you. You get the field coils from a Model A parts supplier, like Bratton's. If you have a good soldering iron to solder the field coils in, you can do it yourself.

Check your initial spark timing. That's will break starters.
