1967 Nissan Patrol

Hello everyone!
So my father has just passed down a 1967 Nissan Patrol to me that we have been working on since i was 8. New engine has under 40 k miles on it we took out the generator and put in an altinator and re wired everything. Now it has been 10 years since i have seen her until yesterday. this is what i am seeing thus far.
New battery
drain lines
tune up
oil change
check the carb.

now i have been struggling to find the correct battery, per my father it has been running on a 51 series 6 volt. Does anyone have time to chat about this?
thank you so much i am so excited to have her back!

Welcome Bliss, not everyone reads the Introductions thread. Sorry can't help with your issue but car sounds interesting. Recommend you start a new thread in the mechanical or electrical section and you're certain to get some more responses to you questions.

I would suggest you go talk to a battery place and see what they recommend.
Dont forget to start a build thread in Members rides so you/we can check your progress
