51 ford overdrive 6v to 12v

ok i changed my 51 over to 12v and need to change the cyl on my 3 spd overdrive any tips?

 

I've heard no changes needed they will run on 12 volts.

 

I remember reading something about the relay having to be changed.

 

The relay , governor , kickdown switch will all work on 12 volts.. The solenoid will need to be changed to a 12 volt unit......will burn up hold in coil & contact inside solenoid. Look for a 1956 Ford and up 12 volt solenoid.....

 

I ran mine on 12v for 10 years never changed a thing,works fine..

 

Likewise. Ran for many years on 12 volts and no problems.

 

thanks guys

 

If it works, use it, if it breaks it needed replacing anyway.
