Is the primary reason for the conversion to accommodate AC? As Howard mentioned, putting 12v into a 6v starter can cause you to end up with a busted starter.

I haven't researched 12v conversions, but plenty have been done so somebody should be able to give you some good direction. For me and my car I don't like the idea of a 12v conversion as I like to keep my car very original and the 6v is part of the charm of my 53 Cavalier, but I'm not trying to add AC either.
