  1. Thanks so much to all of you gentlemen for your answers. I called Randy today and discussed the 6 volt alternator which I will probably get later. I did immediately order an Optima battery from my supplier. I'm a fleet Supervisor for a Govt fleet, and a 40 year mechanic, but it's been a while since I've been involved in 6 volt systems, so I asked for help from you who have been activly involed in the "old stuff" You came through with flying colors. I don't have any problems with the cars electrical system. I just got it and it hasn't been run in 25 years, so I know I need a battery. I just wanted to make the right decision before spending money on the wrong battery. I'm sure i'll find plenty of places to spend money on the car, so don't want to make any bad decisions. I retired today (My last day and I'm not sure how to act yet!!) and I will keep you all posted as I get into it and bring it back to life. Thanks again for all your help, i'll be back when the next question arises!!
  2. I see I posted in the buy/sell instead of the tech section. Sorry about that. I'm new, and not too smart......
  3. I have an early Olds with 6 V system. Don't want to convert to 12V. anyone have success or failure stories going to 8V Battery? Thanks......
  4. If it runs, take it to a good radiator shop for a high pressure back flush. It's not very expensive and it's the proper way to do it. Your wasting you time any other way. I pay about $50 for a back flush, including refilling it with antifreeze.
