Question: I have been reading and heard several folks comment that you HAVE to have an alternator if you’re going to use your headlights. I drove 50’s model trucks and Jeeps years ago with 6 volt generators and headlights and don’t remember having any problems. If the model A generator was that inadequate why did Henry bother putting the headlights on?

Not true, with correctly (key word, correctly) restored headlights you will be fine.
I will admit that if you want to use modern accessories that use a lot of current, the alternator is the way to go.
