Ron, to your question: "Is it still beneficial to use copper core spark plug wires if you have converted to 12 volt?"
1) First, regardless if 6 or 12 volt THAT ALONE doesn't determine what plug wires should be used.
2) Often in typical old tractor MAGNETO ignitions copper plug wire would be preferred over modern carbon core suppressor plug wires. Similar in many old tractor stock battery and distributor coil ignitions (6 or 12 volt no difference) old fashion copper plug wires (not carbon core suppressor) were used
BUT HERES A POSSIBLE DIFFERENCE
3) Since you later posted its a Pertronix Ignition SOME (not all) of those high energy systems use a degree of suppression in the plug wires be it spiral wound or other IE NOT copper core wires in SOME of the high energy Pertronix Ignitions.
BOTTOM LINE check with Pertronix and do as they suggest NOT what any of us here may guess.
