Hi,
I have a 51,300 that is still running on the original 6 volt positive ground system. I drive the car every day and have never had any trouble with it not starting or any other trouble with the electrical system at all. I've driven the car through the mountains to Reno and back in the dead of winter as well as in the summer with out a hint of trouble. I am a firm believer in leaving things the way the manufacturer intended them to be. Most all cars had 6 volt systems until the mid 50's. They all worked OK. I've had some 50 or more cars over the years and most of them were 6 volt cars and never had much thought about the battery voltage. I would fix what's wrong and leave it 6 volts and just enjoy it.
