Need 6v to 12v Conversion Info. 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be Bill on  Tue Jul 16 15:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I want to convert my 1957 PV444 B16B to 12 volts using a "one wire" alternator. I know I need to change the coil and all bulbs. I think I will need to use a resistor to maintain 6 volt items such as horn, fuel guage, wiper and heater motors. Has anyone done this conversion? What type of resistor do I need (amps, ohms, etc) and where can I buy one? Do I need a seperate resistor for each item? Thanks in advance.
