wouldn't of thought so but you never know
dose it have 3 or 6 cells to the battery
3 cells 6 volt - 6 cells 12 volt
could be that a prev owner wanted a faster spinning starter and used a 6 volt to do it ( a very bad way to do it )

I am surprised the starter was a 6 volt. What did it come from? Or what makes you think it is a 6 volt starter?

  2. 1A - Starting and Charging System
    Has anyone had an issue with their GT burning up regulators as soon as the car starts, with the alternator not being the problem? If so, what ended up being the culprit? I’m going through regulators faster than an Emilio Estevez movie, and it’s getting expensive! So far I’m out $330 over the...

  6. 1A - Starting and Charging System
    I did a search for this but couldn't find what I need. 70 GT, noticed the ammeter light not lighting and alternator not charging when first started. Get down the road 3-4 miles, it 'kicks in" and starts working correctly. Pulled over today, pulled the plugs from the voltage regulator and...
