Presumbaly you have read of all the woes with the direct substiute alternators. And on old cars nothing looks worse than an add on alternator. Some contrivance using a dynamo is better althogh also ruins the chracteristic appearance. With appropriate bulbs and care at long traffic stops at traffic lights and a modern regulated bench charger cars are quite practical, as in their day. An 80 amp hour 6v battery packs alot of reserve at 10 amp drain. Main advantage of 12v is cheaper more readily available batteries, bulbs and chargers.
