If the code is really 11A-70C, that is a rare car because it is a Special Tudor and not many survive in their original form. If it is like the Special Coupe, it will have red trim on the sides instead of stainless and just one tail light. My copy of the V8 Album lists the Coupe, but doesn't show a count of how many were produced. A friend in Ventura used to own one. He sold it to another friend in San Marino. I don't know where it is now, but here is a picture: This message was edited by deluxe40 on 1-20-18 @ 7:22 PM

That's deff the wrong code then. No red trim. I should know more tomorrow now not today as planned, but hopefully I can get it nailed down soon, again thanks for all the help so far. Another thing... I'm guessing this will be on a 6v system how difficult is the conversion for these.??

I would see no need to go to 12 volts if that is a nice original car. A good 6volt system with good (or new) wiring and clean grounds will work just fine for you. I'm using a 6 volt Optima battery in my '40 coupe and it spins the motor over just fine.

6 volts will work fine for all normal driving. Make sure that all connectors are clean and seated and you will be alright. Both my 1940 Mercury and 1953 Lincoln are 6 volts with Optima batteries. They start and run fine and the lights are OK, but not as good as the ones on my modern cars. Tom
