Guest STEVE1103 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Friend is making a 47 coupe into a convertable, putting in a 40 engine, 6 cylinder, ( had a rebuilt one) had to change the manifold and carb, is there a starter we can bolt in, 12 volt, without the rod to push to start? Want to change to a newer type ingnition switch. Also a 12 volt generater that will go on without to much trouble? Thanks, STEVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oldsmobile1915 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 1940 to 48 6 cyl automatic had an option for push button start on the dash... no floor button... but it was 6 volt.The early 1950's 12v generators should bolt in but look into tractor generators (tractor supply) for 12 volt "drop in and off the shelf". I would recommend using the 6 volt starter with a resistor to drop 12 to let’s say 7 volts on starting... the engine spins over a little quicker. May I ask why the change - coupe to convertible? 6 to 12 volt? and putting a 1940 6 cyl in it with all of these changes? The cars did work just fine stock in the day, I'm just a little confused to what you're building? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
