6 volt 1500 Install - what's involved?

[DeVertible]

I read a lot about converting a 6 volt pre 1967 car to 12 volts but what about installing a 67-69 single port in a pre 1967 type 1? can I retain the 6 volt system and if so what is involved? Thanks

Mostly installing the early 6 volt generator, and its stand.

Make sure you use the right sized cooling fan for the later engine.

Thanks for steering me toward the "previous posted posts on the subject" that I could not find and thanks for the added information. Not sure what year would have a 200mm 6 volt flywheel but I can only a assume 1966 1300. Anyone know that answer for sure?

I would very much like to replace my 1965 40 hp with my first choice a 1966 1300 if I can find one or a 1500 which seems like a more likely "can do" if I can find the right flywheel to mate the 1500 crank and a 6 volt starter, or . . . did I read correct that a 6 volt flywheels fit 1500 but not vice versa. At this point I feel a bit stupid asking but I do know things rarely go as smoothly as one might hope when doing swaps. Just want to do my homework before I go out and buy a bunch of useless parts.

To be sure which your engine has requires removing the engine and counting flywheel teeth, or if you have a helper, remove starter and count teeth as helper turns engine by hand. The latter is easier if you remove the spark plugs.
