Re: Question 8 Volt Electrical Upgrade Common?

No, it is common to use 8 volt batteries on cars that are worn out, have poor compression, poor connections, or at the very least need to have their starter rebuilt. Packards start just fine.

I kept a log once for a few days on my '53 Clipper shop truck/errand-mobile. I started it 21 times in the space of 3 days as it did its rounds to the bank-store-machine shop-towing dead cars into the service bay etc. Starting is a non issue.
