As an alternative to adding a balance resistor you could replace the coil with a 12v coil one. I've also heard that you can use the generator by adjusting the voltage regulator but have never seen this work corectly. A single wire alternator with internal regulator is the easiest as alternative to one with an external voltage regulator. Also you need to switch the ground from positive ground (standard on most 6 volt systems) to negitive ground (standard on almost all 12 volt systems). As a quick change you could just swap the battery and coil (or add a balance resistor) and charge the battery when it gets low. If your just doing parades/show this may be all you need. It won't hurt the generator or electrical system but will burn out the 6 volt bulbs fast. just make sure the coil is installed correctly - plus side of the coil makes it's way to the plus side of the battery. This is what determins positive ground or negitive ground. If the (-) side of the coil is attached to the points in the distribuitor you have negitive ground - if the (+) side of the coil is attached to the points in the distribuitor you have positive ground.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
