Ron, I have a 55-1 302 engine that I am going to get running soon. It's
6-volt positive ground still. I searched and priced a new selonoid for mine
and it's available in 12-volt, used from 56 to 60 according to book. It's
pricey, like $40 or so. It should be all I need to run on 12-volt, the
starter will handle the 12 volts fine, no problem. I run my 54 Chevy like
that and been using 3 years no problem. It does spin lots faster, which is
fine, starts right away! I could get you the #'s on those selonoids if you
want, I'm not by them now. If you don't have selonoids and have push pedal
on floor, just run it with 12-volt, problem solved.
