 The short answer is yes.=C2=A0 Your ignition system shares a ground with y=
our 12 system.=C2=A0 No problems.
The longer answer is "it depends."=C2=A0 It depends on your step-down "tran=
sformer," whatever that is.=C2=A0 But I suspect it is just a buck voltage r=
egulator and it is non-isolated and there will be no issues there.

I'm converting a Jeepster from 6 to 12 volt.. the instruments are bimetal a=
nd certainly won't tolerate 12 volts. I have a step down transformer for th=
em. My question/concern is can different voltages share a common ground? Da=
