Just wondering whats needed to run the 36 horse motor when the car is wired for 12v. Is this possible

Thanks Kevin

You need a Porsche "small diameter" 12v generator.

12 volt coil would probably be a good idea also....

Car runs better with a 6 volt coil on 12 volts.....for a little while.

Will the 36 flywheel work with the 12v starter?

no keep the 6v starter and buy a spare.
dixie electric usually has a few 12v porsche generators around rebuilt for about $200.

I got a 12 volt starter with a 6 volt gear from Blimp I think it was...

Take your generator or a spare to a good auto electric shop and have it converted to 12 volts it cost me about 125.00 for the conversion including the regulator. Good luck
