DELLBert, Its possible to tweak up a 6 volt Voltage Regulator some to better charge an 8 volt battery, but Ive NEVER been a fan of 8 volts. For one, its an oddball battery n arrangement,,,,,if its a coil ignition and you dont add some ballast, the coil runs a tad warmer and the points can burn a bit sooner,,,,,,,,,likewise, the bulbs will burn brighter but burn up sooner. If a body is dead set on converting, I would go ahead n convert it to the way more standard 12 volts n be done with it. The original 6 will start better IFFFFFFF one uses the biggest heaviest and highest rated battery that will physically fit in the box and use 00 Gauge cables. Ol Frank (F I T) put one of those 6 volt AGM Optima batterys in his Case n I think its rated something like 1000 CCA but costs more, of course.
