Re: Did you change your 6v. Packard to 8v or 12v?

I am pondering what to do voltage-wise when I rewire also, one big reason that I see to switch to 12 volt is ease of support - meaning if something quits and I need a jump sometime it is no hassle. If still 6 volt then there is a hassle, things to watch, make sure no lights are on, etc. Plus less searching around for that 6 volt accessory or workaround to use something more modern.

That's the biggest reason that I can see to switch to the more modern standard. Once it is done, no more work needed for upkeep and support. And since I must rewire everything on my car anyway, no real extra work upfront.
