Starter will run on 12 volts. You need a 12 volt generator or alternator, a 12 volt coil and a resistor to drop the voltage to the distributor to extend point life.You can also eliminate the resistor by using a 12 volt coil with an internal resistor.

You will also have to replace all the light bulbs inside and out, and obtain voltage reducers for the gauges. As often said here, the cost of converting to 12 volts usually doesn't justify doing it. A 6 volt system in good condition is almost always nearly as effective.
