Bought a '52 8n (sn 8N492803) about 3 weeks ago. It's pretty much all original, except someone has messed with the wiring and as most do, needs a little love. Actually still has the original paint.
Still is 6v, but has a 12v battery negative ground. Didn't even know you could do that. I've changed the seat and steering wheel.
Have new lower lift bars, 12v conversion kit, tune up kit and a new carb on the way. It appears the coil is still original (remnants of old red paint). Can I use this one, or should I replace it with a new 12v? Can I just pick up one at an auto parts store?
Sorry about probably obvious questions, but everything I know about 8n's I've learned in the last 2 months! Any guidance and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
