A member of the car club has a 1937 Chev converted from 6 volt to 12 volt. He now has problems with the starter motor remaining engaged after release of the ignition key. The starter is still 6 volt. He has heard that their is the possibility of buying or making some form of resistor to reduce the 12 volts to 6 volts in the supply cable to the starter. I was wondering if any members had heard of this modification or how to make the resistor.

If you have a 6-volt starter on your car and are using a 12-volt battery you must learn how to start the car. The key is to use the starter for only a few seconds and then release, whether it has started or not. Then repeat the procedure if it did not start.

If your starter has a Bendix spring----carry spares.
