'50 B2C

Thank you all as a community for helping me out, I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out if I wanted to just go 12v conversion or stick 6v and I'm glad there is a reliable 6v solution out there. Y'all know how to make someone feel welcome and I appreciate it!

Thank you Plymouthy, I will make sure to call them to verify

Nice to know, Thank you Moak!

Thank you Merle, this is exactly what I needed. I will stick the pertronix route with a 6 volt unit

I see on pertronix website that I must run their 40000 volt flamethrower coil, they offer a 1.5 ohm and 3 ohm coil. Any way of knowing which one to go with?

Thank you, I will be out to the truck soon to get the distributor number. With the way parts houses are these days I am not surprised that it's a pain to look up the 6 volt version

The rotor and magnetic ring were sitting on my fender at the time of this picture so I could get a better picture of the base

Thank you all for the replies attached is a picture of the inside of my distributor Maok. The main reason I want to go back to points is because the previous owner put the 12 volt ignition in but failed to convert over to 12 volt on the rest of the truck. Said he got it running by hooking up a 12v battery to the coil and started it with the 6v side. I was not aware of a 6v compatible pertronix unit, may I ask if you have a part # John-T-53?? Thanks for the original distributor picture Don

Hi All, I'm new to 6 volt systems and the guy I bought my 1950 b2c from had installed a pertronix 12 volt ignition in it. I want to convert back to points but cannot find any literature to do so. Is it as simple as buying an "ignition tune up kit" with just the points, condenser, cap, and rotor? Seeing as how I've never seen inside the distributor when it was stock I have no clue what may be missing. Any of you done this?
