Rusty- that's one the nicest Pontiacs I've seen from that era. Personally, I wouldn't be in a hurry to switch to 12V. I feel that a lot of people have done so out of ignorance- they didn't realize the greater importance of good wiring and connections (especially grounds) with only 6 volts. I have no complaints about my 6V '55 Plymouth- even the headlights are as good as my 12V vehicles. Some 6V starters turned quite slowly (my Plymouth does), but old flatheads don't need to spin fast to start. And 6V starters will crank for an awfully long time if needed, without overheating. To power FM/Cassette, I put an old 12V battery in the trunk, with a cheap DC-to-DC converter to keep it charged.
