Going to MSRA Back to the 50’s this weekend in St Paul...great idea
I get the logic of keeping it 6v if everything else is working fine. As you can see from the attached picture, this is not the case. All the wiring needs to be redone. For about $200 I can get a "hot rod wiring kit" that is 12v. Throw in a 6V DC buck converter like this one and i can use the original radio.
My friend did find these Massey Ferguson tractor starters from the same era that come in 6 and 12V options. Any one know if that would work? Cant seem to find measurements online.

You can get a starter at a car show, you just need to take a few tools and have someone with you to keep the car's owner distracted! LOL
