Hey Chris, that probably would have worked if we (teenagers then ) had known what we were actually doing. The only batteries available were 6 and 8 volts. I can't remember when 12 volt systems came about.

I do remember those hot flat head Fords though. They were like great big Briggs and Strattons with 8 cylinders. Things were very rudimentory then. OHV was the cutting edge technology and engine swaps were the rage.

As I remember, we didn't mind replacing starter motors, head lights, etc. to allow the use of those "state of the art" heads with the 8 volt batteries.
