I am going to convert my 49 Coronet to 12V. I have been scouring the net for information on how to handle the servo on the Gyromatic tranny, but have only come up with "it can be done" - which just encourages me to find a way. Before I mess up the tranny (or force a larger project), does anyone know how this can be done? Looking at the wiring diagram, if I use a 12V to 6V converter or ballast resister on the red wire off of the coil (and switch it to the + side), that will power the transmission circuit with 6V negative ground. Will this work? Has anyone done anything that has? Before all the 6V faithful chime in, due to my wife's asthma, AC is a necessity. Not a luxury. That makes 12V also a necessity. That goes before all the "brighter lights" and "modern stereo" arguments. Sure was easier on my old 49 SD 3 on the tree ....

General Upgrade and Paint Guidance on 1933 Dodge DP6 w 201
Mopar-Boy posted a topic in P15-D24 Forum
Few quick questions: I'm looking to upgrade my 201 to a 12 volt system and going to find a way to keep the stomp starter so that it acts as the gear engagement AND the 12 volt relay to the starter itself. Since it all works now, guessing it won't be rocket science. Does anyone know what the ignition coil circuit should look like? I understand that there are coils with an internal resistor, but also know that voltage drop is "kind" to points distributor which I am inclined to keep. Any comments or guidance would be GREAT. Secondly, if I want to clean, repaint and replace leaking gaskets therefore taking the motor out, can anyone tell me if it is necessary to remove the grill prior to pulling the motor? Thanks, MoparBoy
