what would happen 12 battery in 6 volt system

[14x7]

Any chance of a fire? What would happen ,How long could I go?

Even when jump starting a 6-volt system from a 12-volt source the source contact should only be made for a few seconds![:0]

It would probably run for about a half an hour. Then your points would burn and you'd have too weak a spark to stay running. All your lights would burn out as soon as they came on. I guess your generator and regulator would fry. So just change all your bulbs and coil. And put a GM alternator on it with a built in regulator. And just run your heater motor and wiper motor on low.
