LARC - had your car been previously converted to a 12V (pos or neg ground?) system, or is it still the original 6V negative ground?

Steve, nowadays the car is using a 12V battery (I´m not sure if it is pos or neg ground, I guess it has been previously converted from 6V to 12V because the motor is starting with the electric starter as well as lights, cigarette lighter and horn work perfectly. When I get the car back I will check the car to answer you with more certainty. Luis

LARC - on the amperage (assume you mean cranking amps &/or cold cranking amps) of an 'original' 6V battery as you asked I'd have to rely on others for that bit of historical data. The current 6V batteries have numbers all over the map - you can easily find that info based on manufacturer on the internet. Regarding a functioning 6V generator in good working condition you can expect it to produce 65-70 amps.
