With all the advantages of a 12 volt system in your 6 volt car, here is a simple way to make an inexpensive regulator that accommodates the variable amp draw that things like radios, gauges, and heater motors have. This resistor has enough capacity to handle all the accessories that an old car has. Check out this link to see how you can build your own for just a few bucks and a little bit of time.

Yeah, I know it looks intimidating but if you look at the pictures and study the schematics you can do it. I built one and it works great and I am electonically challenged. I used a heat sink out of an old computer
and bought the components at Central Utah Electronics Supply at 735 S State Provo, Utah.
