Curt(806) with an earlier reply has it right. The 6-volt MIGHT crank it longer, but the 8-volt WILL spin it faster. I ran an M and SM for over 20 years with 8-volt batteries, and the lights seemed to last nearly as long as before I changed the setup. The M is now on 12 volts, which SPINS the engine compared to what 6 would do. I know the purists absolutely cringe at discussions like this, but when the old beasts have been upgraded to high compression and overbore sleeves and pistons, 6 volts is over-matched.
