Remember if you go 12 volts and higher amperage you can run an original ammeter by using a shunt across the terminals.

I agree with that,to me a delco alternator has chevrolet written all over it.The pure engineering of the model a in original form is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. But in this current environment of turn signals,LEDs USB phone charging and a host of other improvements an alternators stable voltage makes sense.
