Yep, your correct, it's a 1948 59a engine with a custom built alternator. The fan is late flathead, does that count?:o

I noticed the waterpump with the later top hole or are my eyes playing tricks, neat setup though. are the alt. pullies comercially produced or will it have to be specially made?

I would like to see pictures of the ones offered by Mac's, Speedway Motors and others please. My car is a basic driver - not a show car - so no need for chrome and other thrills - thanks.

Nothing exciting here .... '47 stock(ish) + with 3-wire 10SI Delco on standard adapter using two-shieve crank pulley.

Mine , nothing great here just standard ol' SI 10 3 wire. Typical only charges above idle.. But its never been a problem. I use my pickup daily.

Here's a one wire GM alternator on an 8BA. Aluminum alternator bracket was cut down to make alternator sit lower down on the engine. There is also a fusibale link in the wire that goes from the battery terminal to the back of the alternator.

I bought my horseshoe and 10Si from Certified Electric. Pretty stout, but I found it was vibrating fore-aft at certain RPM's. I added some stiffening ribs to the horseshoe, cured that. It has been totally trouble free electrically.
