Converting a '48 from 6V to 12V with a Chevy Small Block

OK, I need some validation.

Working on a car where the owner wants to convert from 6V to 12V. But it is a bigger issue than that. He dropped a Chevy 350 into the car.

I created 2 wire diagrams. The first one (entitled 48 Packard 6V)shows every wire that has anything to do with the '48 Packard engine.

The second one (entitled 48 Packard 12V Chevy 350)shows the '48 with the Chevy 350 wiring. I need to know if I show all of the wires correctly on the second one.

Please take a good look and either let me know if I have it right, or what (if anything) I missed or need to change.

So far I have been told to swap the wiring to the AMM Gauge + & -, which I did. My biggest concern are the wires from the Alternator & Distributor. Do I have these correct? Do I have everything else correct.

What a pain this has been, but learning a lot which is a good thing.

Thank you so much!
