Howdy all, Picked up a new to me 51 Cambridge and in the process of trying to get it sorted for inspection so that i can register it I decided the entire electrical system needed updating. I eventually want to put AC in the car and that pretty much mandates a 12v electrical system. Not here to debate going to 12v, decision is made. So with that said, step one for your review. Removing the generator and putting in an alternator. Being a Mopar guy I am going to keep this conversion as Mopar as I can. So the alternator is spec'd for an 87 Dodge Diplomat, used own one years ago.

A number of people say retrofitting a 12v motor is "easy". Got a source for these motors? Try Ebay isn't helpful. I am in the process of converting my 51 Cambridge to 12v. Need a wiper motor too.

It's nothing more than a wire wound resistor. Since you know the resistance of your motors you need a resistor that is approximately the same resistance to drop the voltage in half. https://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Shell-Housed-Wirewound-Resistor/dp/B06ZZGBHGX/ref=sr_1_36?keywords=3+ohm+resistor&qid=1568251203&sr=8-36 $3. wire it in series with the input to your motor.
