Sound makes a number of good points and you need to think over what he has said. But if you still want to change over to 12 volts heres what I do. I buy a Delco 10SI altenator and make up my own wireing. That alternator is the same one used on a 1980 Chev pickup and can be had for around $30-50 depending on where you buy it. To wire it you have 3 wires to run. One from the big post on the alternator and that one goes to the battery or hot side of the soliniod. Then from the #2 terminal on the little plug that wire goes to the big post on the alternator. Then you have the #1 terminal on the plug and it goes to the ignition switch, the side that is hot when turned on. You put a diode or lite bulb in that wire to stop the alternator from back feeding the coil when you shut it off. Cost that way is less the $75 if you can figure out how to mount the alternator. I can explain that also but this is gettig a little long
