I have a 36 Lasalle with a flathead 8. I'm doing a 12 volt conversion. Does anyone know if there is a starter that will fit? DL

There is NO 12V starter that will fit your car. Just use it as is.

Hello Dennis,

I agree with Bob, just leave it as it is. The 6 volt starter connected to a 12 volt system will give your engine a higher starting RPM and therefore easier to fire up even if your engine has a weak compression. You can also leave the horns as is because like the starter you use them only temporarely. The sound however is enough to wake your neighbours on a Sunday morning...  My 74 ElCamino has 1941 Cadillac horns, great sound !  ;)

Thanks for the info. The problem I am having however is I have to replace the solenoid. The one I have has no wiring to it so I need the wiring diagram for it as well when I find a solenoid.
