So I had a few spare minutes tonite, and started crawling around the notch, looked at the battery and saw this.



The battery has a second power wire from the pos. terminal that runs to what looks like a ceramic cylinder, directly across from that the wire leads off to another battery terminal, there is also a second ground strap on the other side of the tunnel. What's the deal with that??? Is it a 6 volt thing? this is the first 6 volt era car that I have owned that was still 6 volt.

Are all the bulbs 6 volt?
If not two six volts hooked up together make's a twelve volt
(my early MGB's were like that)
Also Landcrusiers (two twelve makes 24 volt)
