Re: 1950 Ford sedan seat too far forward

It sounds like you have the wrong seat in your car. As to tilt, try a 1/4 inch shim under the front two bolts to start, going to 3/8 if that helps. I would remove the seat, clean and lube...

Re: Alternator that looks like a generator. Is there such a thing.

I had the same issues in 1960 on my 50 Ford. I had the flywheel resurfaced. Should have had it balanced at the same time.
