REGARDING TELVE VOLT CONVERSIONS:

At an auto show some years ago, a couple of "experts" nodded knowingly when they saw my hood open, and how fast my bone stock starter kicks over my bone stock Packard V-12 motor.

They explained to each other that I must have had that "FOUR VOLT CONVERSION"...

Now, where in hell did these guys get that idea...?

I know...I know..it was mean of me...but I couldn't resist it - see, some years before that, I got tired of explaining to people that BONE STOCK six volt systems, WHEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, spin em fast, start em right now, and burn headlights BRIGHT. Hot or cold. PERIOD !

So - revenge time. I explained to one "know-it-all" who said he didnt believe me, about my "secret"..."See.."...I told him...."modern 6 volt electricty is too weak..dosnt work well in these old systems....so you need a four volt convertor to make the modern electricy behave like old 6 volt electricity.." Didn't take long for one ""expert to tell another "expert"..etc...etc. and back it came to me a year or so later !
