Did anyone notice that the '53 El Dorado had an 8 volt battery on it??

how interesting.  Apparently people ran 8V batteries in modified 6V systems to tweak the starter for higher compression engines

You got better spark with more volts, too.  The voltage regulator could be tuned with a screwdriver using a voltmeter to tell when it would charge.  The 331 cid V8 is a huge engine to start with 6 volts.
