Australian BGC were 6V. The engine that I found is a BGC engine retro fitted to a 1951 Ford truck.
I think the electrics were upgraded to 12V at some point as the starter will not turn on 6V under load, but turns freely on 12V.
During recovery I forgot to get the regulator and other minor electrical items.

My neighbour is about 80m away, they have not been too friendly of late, so a little bit of music within the EPA timeline for making noise was not unjustified.
It was sweet music, better that a 6V53 GM out of the manifolds...
