I know that the older points system on nearly all vehicles was 6 volt after the initial start up, even if the rest of the system was 12 volt. Don't see why you couldn't put it on a resistor if it didn't have one built in like the older points systems had the starter ballast to drop you from 12 volt to 6 volt after start up.

Anytime I'm not working at my suckbutt job  I'm doing just fine. Been painting on the old house and that's just fine by me, even if I been painting that same wall since I was 13!  You have a great one too, Rick.

Side mount 51 8 N. My Dad and Grand Pa have been around 8 Ns all their lives and didn't know to take the distubter off the tractor to install points on the front mount distubeter, I had a good laugh, as well as you looking at my spelling.
