6-to-12 Volt Conversions
We've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

If I may be so bold as to attempt to help Mr. Rundle, something not covered in his book (which I have, and with its help I managed to successfully convert my '55 so everything works in its factory-intended manner) and maybe worth mentioning to him is the weird 1158 (Ba15d base, non-indexed pins) bulbs used for some of the early cars that had optional directional signals. The 12V equivalent of those is either a 1176 or 1376. My FLAPS actually carries those, but I'm not sure what the heck they would be normally used for. (imagine a 1034 or 1157 but with non-indexed pins.)
I wouldn't normally bother to post something so trivial, but it actually took me quite a bit of time and web searching to find those numbers. I suppose I could just have driven to Pep Boys and rummaged through the rack for a couple of hours, but I didn't even know if such a thing existed or if I'd have to knock out my old sockets and fit new ones.
