Powerhouse generator swap
 

I picked up a rebuilt powerhouse generator at a swap meet this weekend. Mainly to use as a spare for touring etc.
I have a cylinderical generator on my 30 coupe which is working fine.
Is the mounting the same for both styles?, same fan belt etc?

powerhouse generators were used for 1928 and early '29 to be correct. Same fan belt. Powerhouse also uses a tension bracket bolted to front of timing cover. See judging standards and search old posts here, lots of pics to see.

Only some powerhouse use the tension bracket, which also requires a special cover bolt.
The powerhouse mounting bolt is the same, except the powerhouse won't need the nut.
