Food for thought Was the idea for running to a junk yard And finding something comparable out of a GM! To pull all A/C and 12v Charging system Parts/brackets, pulleys, fuse box or whatever after I take my measurements. There is plenty of room to mount without having a crappy look to her. I would probably mount the 12v battery and fuse box in the trunk before the rear axle, It can be done neatly. and still able to run other stuff out from the Fuse box. I just have to watch the positive ground feed for the 6v side.
There is a world of parts out there fairly cheap waiting to be used again, that are still in good shape! She is a Original car and been with me in the family for 45yrs not looking for any points just to be comfortable.
There is also this option;
http://www.classicautoair.com/under-dash-trunk-home.html There is an elder man out here that has endless Packard's and a lot of other autos, he does do a lot of work on other cars from the car meet. He had rewired more than a few cars to 12v. He was telling me that the starter of a 6v system will handle 12v and probably more but to watch to long of cranking.
On his 56 Executive for the push button shift he had reworked it to work on a hydraulic shift that they use in aircraft, as he is a retired Air Force mechanic he is familiar with the operations, What a Ride!
