I subscribe to K.I.S.S (Keep It Simple Stupid). A complex system is just that.....complex. More potential points of failure. I just don't see the point in maintaining a complete 2nd separate electrical system. 6v is fine if you are trying to maintain the originatlity and all that. But with everything under the hood for the secondary 12 system already, that is really out the window. So I would think a 12v alternator (or even a later 12v generator) in place of the original generator with a simpler belt arrangement to drive all the normal car stuff and the A/C compressor, and a 12v battery on the originally location is a far more elegant solution than a rube-golderg 2-system setup under the hood.
