G.M.'s solution looks slick and if I had the know-how that's what I would do. Sadly I don't have his know how and the people in my Lincoln club warned me I didn't want to go 12v or Negative ground due to some of the more odd-ball accessories in my vehicle. I was lucky and was able to obtain a GM 10si alternator that had been converted to 6v positive ground/single wire/self exciting by someone who had intended on using on their tractor. $40 and a slingshot from speedway later and I couldn't be happier. And should I decide to go show-car somewhere way down the line I still have the stock generator on a shelf in the garage.
