Help converting to 12v
I don't have the heating in tact and working so I'm not worried about the blower.
I know I need the following:
*condesor
*coil
*ignition ballast resistor
*bulbs
*alternator
*battery
Parts I'm unsure of. Do I need to get these?
*turn signal switch - I really don't want to replace my original switch. Do I have to?
*voltage reducer for gauges - I don't use any of the original gauges. I have separate mechanical gauges. BUT, I have all the original gauges wired. I need to have the original gauges wired to complete electrical circuits, correct? If that's the case, I assume I should install the voltage reducer to protect original gauges even though I don't currently use them?
Any parts that are not completely straight forward for the parts store can you please direct me to a part number? For example, I know the ballast resistor is specific. I'm not knowledgeable enough and my parts store (NOT a big "box store") gets flustered when I ask them for things that don't pop up in their computer.
Am I missing anything?
