Re: 12 volt conversion

G'day all especially 49 Packard, I should add that I converted to 12V because the 38 120 isn't all that original with a souped-up 54-327 engine and Pckard Overdrive. I appreciate the 100w headlights etc and it is a bit of an experiment, as was fitting an 8v system which I hated in the end (5 years on my 38 Six). Tell your friend to look at the Starter specification section of any of the old Motor manual books. The 25 ft lb starter was more common in 51 to 53 than the 16 ft lb starter so he should have no trouble finding one. I can give you the serial numbers of the starters if you need them.
