Welcome and good luck with your purchase!

I did the 12v neg ground conversion earlier this year on a 1950 standard 8. Also used the schematic and replaced light bulbs, installed new alternator, 12v direction indicator switch, 12v coil. The swop to alt was easier than I thought. I disconnected most of my gauges to protect them and make use of an extra 12v volt meter and pilot light to check on the charging.Removed wiring, generator and regulator and keep them for later use maybe. It cleaned up the wiring in the engine bay quite a bit.
I still need to clean up the open wiring under the dash. At present my main and brights stopped working - will need to trace, hope its not he 6v relays!
Please feel free to ask and I can supply some photos if needed.
