Far as the voltage drain, like others have said , check your wiring again, do a current draw test, easy way is to unhook ground at battery, put a test light in series, if it lights start unhooking until you find the area of the draw. Far as 6 volt systems, I was surely pleased when most everything went to 12 volts. Also the alternator. Was something else new to learn but it was a blessing. You couldn't put a big enough generator on a school bus to keep all things humming. Starting a M farmall with firecrater pistons, a factory 450 gas with 6 volts, real pain. Twelve volts, end of problem. Solid state voltage regulators, vast improvement over mechanical. I used to be the only guy in the area who would actually take them regulators apart, refinish or replace the points and set them back up again so I was well versed in their shortcomings. Also, when they dumped that 3rd brush generator in favor of a shunt wound two brush, another blessing. Progress some times is good. Will 6 volts systems work, of course, I have one on one of my H farmalls. Works fine. But I'm still glad they switched to 12 volts systems. .
