WHEN I WAS YOUNG-16-18 ALL WE COULD AFFORD WERE OLD CARS($200-$300) AND THEY WERE ALL 6V.HAD TROUBLE STARTING THEM.I USED AN 8V BATTERY (HAD TO ADJUST REGULATOR THOUGH).ALSO USED 12V AND TAPPED CENTER OF 12V FOR SIX V LIGHTS ETC.HAD TO TURN ON HEATER BEFORE TURNING ON HEADLIGHTS,OR THEY WOULD SOON BURN OUT.THEY HAD A 6/12V BATT.
