Changing to 12 volts on a C will have no effect on the magneto, except when spinning a 6 volt starter with 12 volt could turn the engine over fast enough to override the impulse and not allow the engine to start with the advanced timing. Also on the smaller tractors switching to 12 volts it will hasten starter ring gear wear and could also lead to bendix problems. although many say they done this without any troubles. Do you feel lucky?
Having your starter rebuilt as a true 12 volt unit will slow the starter speed down enough to eleminate the above mentioned issues.
