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

8-volt batteries in cars otherwise 6-volt is a really bad idea. Yes, it will probably crank faster but as others have pointed out, if you have slow cranking you probably have dirty connections, undersize cables, or a starter motor in need of rebuilding. Years back, installing an 8-volt battery was the kind of thing the sleezy highway used car lots did to make a car start fast. If you wont to do it anyway, don't forget to have the voltage regulator readjusted and buy a sizeable inventory of light bulbs.
