"Because,i noticed that theres a Ballast resister on the firewall and its wired to the POS to the coil. The NEG is going to the DISTRIBUTOR. So,is this 6 VOLT or 12 VOLT SYSTEM" ?
Husker, Not being there and based on your post I can ONLY hazard a guess, but here goes:
1) If it was a 6 volt system originally it wouldn't have had an external ballast resistor so since it has one its my "guess" its been converted from 6 to 12 volts.
2) If you check the lights that may provide another clue and if you put 12 volts to 6 volt bulbs they will glow very bright very briefly lol then burn out.
3) That later model on board solenoid chevy starter instead of a stomp switch or saddle mounted push switch makes me think 12 volts, again a guess.
4) I assume its NOT an alternator conversion right?? (If so Id guess 12 Volts Neg Ground) If it has a Generator it may be labeled and some old Delco 6 volt were black tagged while 12 volt were red tagged.
5) If its a 6 volt coil with a ballast and obviously if it has 12 volt bulbs its 12 volts. If it has a 12 volt starter and you apply only 6 volts it will turn veryyyyyy slowwwwwwwwww.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
