FWIW:

Our 1955 (8) cylinder Chrysler came with a Chrysler installed six (6) volt battery, dual distributor ignition points ....... and we never had problems with same ...... even thought this huge (8) cylinder engine was just about twice the size of a Model A (4) cylinder engine plus it had a much greater compression ratio.

If someone is trying achieve increased Model A performance, speed, and MPG .......... in my humble opinion ....... installing an (8) volt battery in a Model A is about as effective in achieving these improvements as it is to make your race horse wear a Jock Strap, Sunglasses, and Red Tennis Shoes so he can outrun the other race horses.
