I was looking through an old Niehoff ignition & electrical buyers guide and came across something I had never seen before. With all the talk of switching from 6 to 12 volts it may be the perfect item. (if still available)

I then decided to check the NAPA Echlin buyers guide and found the same item.

I would guess that the NAPA one with the bracket would look like the Niehoff one.

Re: voltage reducer !
It says 4 amp unregulated load. If the load is anything other than 4 amps at 6 volts, the voltage will be different. Lower voltage if more than 4 amps, and higher if less than 4 amps. If load changes at anytime so will the voltage.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Re: voltage reducer !
The ballast resistor used to "reduce" 12V to 6V for your ignition coil only works because it is sized specifically for a 6V ignition coil, AND coils are not that fussy about voltage. Within 1-2 Volts is fine.
Really for things like lights and whatnot, it will be less expensive to swap out the 6V parts for 12V.
