...as to the 12v. yeah I need to figure that all out. I looked up under the dash last night and there are wires going everywhere and there is electric tape that is giving up the ghost and could cause me issues with shorting or fire in the future. I need to map all of that out or try to go back to 6v.

to go back to 6v will require a lot of parts and a complete rewire I think.

it has a vol-ta-drop (which apparently they don't make anymore) on it and only one side is being used. it has 2 6v/6a studs I can use.

there is a tag on one wire that says extra 12v continuous and another tag that says clock...do not hook up 6v +. needless to say the clock does not work.

I will take a fair amount of pictures of the wiring, I know I will need help. the amp meter is pegged at 30 amps when the car is running. the gas gauge seems to read 1/4 no matter what.

overall it isn't that bad, I just need to get in there and figure out what they did and use shrink wrap instead of crappy electric tape...
