One other important thing on 6 volt starting systems,make sure battery cables are heavy cables like 00,the heavy one's carry more amps,which is very important in 6 volt starting systems,they came with heavy cables from factory!
My 46 CJ2A had been converted to 12V when I got it. It seemed to work OK, so I never messed with it. I presume the coil and incandescent bulbs had been replaced. On the other hand, I had an old Honda motorcycle that someone had thrown a 12V battery into and fried all the bulbs. That, I converted back to 6V.
I haven't gotten that far. I will probably replace the original 6 volt headlights with 6 volt LED retrofitted bulbs. I want to keep it original with a couple of exceptions. I will probably add turn signals and brake lights as well. Not original but safer.

You are exactly right! I will be pointing this out in an upcoming video.
