A 6-volt starter will work just fine with 12-volts. I have 12 volts in my 50 Ford and 53 Ford, both with flatheads and also in my 53 Stude coupe and 49 Stude truck. All still have the 6 volt starter, for many, many years. I also ran 6 volt starter in most of my VW's with 12 volts.
from Ontario Canada. A fully charged wet cell is 2.2 volts. This means your fully charged 6V is 6.6, 8V is 8.8, 12V is 13.2. Plus you must have a higher potential at the generator to get the current to flow into the battery. So a 6V reg is usually set to about 7.2, an 8V 9.4 and a 12V 14.5.
A 12v battery is a 12 volt battery, you can't use it at 6v. It doesn't work that way. Each of the 3 cells in a 6v battery produces a bit over 2 volts, just like each of the 6 cells in a 12v battery produces a bit over 2 volts. Because that's what a lead-acid battery cell does. squirrel, May 26, 2020.
1. My solenoid only has a “S” terminal. Refer to pic. 2. I tested the battery on/off gauge and it actually shows either “charge” or “discharge” when 6V is applied to the terminals. By reversing the terminals it will change from either “charge” or “discharge”. When no voltage is applied it reads “off”.
2 methods. #1 Disconnect the ground cable of the 6 volt battery. Make sure all lights, radio etc are shut off in the 6V car. Connect 12V battery, start car, take jumper cable off ground and quickly stick the 6V cable back on before car stalls out. #2 This takes 2 people.
A 6 or 12 volt battery can be either positive or negative ground. What did they give you, 6 or 12? It was common to convert the '55 to 12 volts as Ford went to that shortly thereafter. The main reason to use negative ground with 12 volts is that you can use it with modern electronics but it would work with positive ground.
If you put 6v into a regulator and it is set up right you should get around 7 - 7.2 out the other side once the engine has started ( though this should drop a bit once the battery starts to charge up ) not 12v volts. You need around 7 - 7.2v volts to charge a 6v battery. Have you got an ampmeter fitted.
only if you recalibrate the voltage regulator. With out an adjustment the gen. will still only put out 6 volts. If you want 5 and 12 volts hook up 2 6v. batteries and use the voltage you need, the only diff is you need to change the voltage output of the gen and reg. to 12 volts to do this. silversink, Mar 2, 2010.
6 volt positive ground just never looked right to me, all my 55 Chrysler. had damaged relays, I assume as a result of being jumped with a 12 volt negative ground. Years ago I bought a 1950 Ford Woodie with the battery hooked up positive ground, to correct this I turned on the headlights until the battery was completely dead, then reversed the ...
Sending units aren't rated in volts, the critical measurement here is Ohms. Gauges are looking for a ohms 'range', it's the gauges that need the correct voltage. Use a '56-70s Ford gauge 'voltage regulator' to power the gauges (Ford used 6 volt gauges in their 12V cars well into the '70s), then you can use the flathead sending units matched to ...
