6 Volt Jump

Post by Kenyon »

Hi all... My 1960 356B is still on the original 6 volt system. I have often wondered if you can jump start it off a 12 volt battery. I took a look online and the thinking is you can. But all lights and radio must be turned off.

Has anybody tried this? I was considering a 12 volt conversion just for the sake of ease as I am wanting to run the car a bit more than I have been.

Many thanks!
Phil

Hello Kenyon, yes it can be done.

This is a link to an article on the 356 Registry which is pretty comprehensive, let me know if the link works for you.
