A 1955 Packard is 12 volts, positive ground.
Yes, when converting from a 6-volt system to a 12-volt system in a vehicle, you typically need to replace the coil with one that is compatible with 12 volts. This is because a coil designed for a 6-volt system may not be able to handle the higher voltage and could lead to issues with the ignition system.
For a 5% volt drop of 6 volts the total resistance should be less than 6/8 ohms, 0.75 ohms, which for a total wire run of 500 ft is equivalent to 1.5 ohms per 1000 ft. Wire tables show that a #10 cable should be used. A #12 cable would give a volt drop of 5.3% which would probably be acceptable for occasional use and easier to store.
The equation for wattage is W = A x V. Substitute your values into this equation and you will have your answer.
You should not use any wire smaller than 8 AWG COPPER in a 40 amp breaker. If you have any questions about your application, you should contact a local electrical contractor for your own safety.
No, a 250-Amp fuse would be much larger than a 25-amp fuse. A fuse is generally designed to have a thermal runaway and melt the connection when there is too much current for too long.
No. Is a 6 volt system.
No, you cannot charge an 8 volt battery with a 6 volt charger. The voltage of the charger must match the voltage of the battery.
yes
Some have a switch for 6 or 12V - if not you will "cook" a 6 volt battery using a 12 Volt charger
No you cannot.

The 1955 Packard Clipper Coupe, equipped with an 8-cylinder engine producing 225 horsepower, has a top speed of around 115 miles per hour. This model is known for its smooth performance and luxurious features, typical of Packard vehicles during that era. The combination of its powerful engine and streamlined design contributed to its respectable speed for a car of its time.
