Tom, first, I hope you have a super time going out to, being there, and returning from Bonneville!

I’m looking forward to seeing you at the Moonshine Festival.

Second, you know I drive all of our cars/trucks Flatheads, etc. I'm lucky to have a Generator/Alternator shop about 20 miles from me, they have converted and/or rebuilt several generators and starter motors for me. I just found another generator, (in my stash)

that has the wide belt pulley (needed for the '51 F-1) on it. This afternoon I'll run it up to the shop and have them convert it to 12 volts.

You know I have a one wire alternator on the LZ;

it was on her when I got her... The original generator was in the trunk (along with a bunch of other original parts)

so, once I have everything else done to the Zephyr, I'll have the generator converted to 12 volts and put it in its proper place.
