[QUOTE="jgdunham, post: 476211, member: 25617"] Regarding the 6v vs 12v The 6v starters will take 12v just fine. The only way to kill it is excessive cranking which can happen at 6v anyway. The part that wont survive at 12v is the choke solenoid. You have 3 choices for that. Never choke it electrically, replace with a 12v solenoid from a 57 or newer motor, or measure the resistance of the solenoid and buy a resistor to match. Put them in series and it will halve the voltage. You will need to calculate current: i=v/r and then power:p=iv to make sure you buy a resistor that can take it. Combined, that will be p=144/r where r is the resistance [/QUOTE]
