Best Answer

You replace all of these things:

the generator, and most people change to alternator

every light bulb in the car

the battery

the voltage regulator

the coil

both the crank and alternator pulleys--the belts are different--and the fan belt

the radio

You also install a voltage drop on the carburetor--it goes between the coil and the carb.

Most guys leave the starter alone. Six-volt starters work well on 12v power, and if you were to change the starter you'd also have to pull the engine and change the flywheel, which is larger on a 12v car. And then you'd have to machine the bellhousing on the transaxle to handle the larger flywheel...save yourself a lot of grief and leave the starter alone.

Actually a 67 is 12 volt already, that is the year they changed. But the advice given was good, I would leave the starter alone.

How can you tell if your engine is a 6volt or12volt?

The only things on the engine that change from 6-volt to 12-volt are the heater element in the carburetor, the generator and the coil. If the engine's in the car, the EASIEST way to tell is to look at the battery. Three caps is 6v, 6 caps is 12v.
