Thanks, again, Mike, for explaining all of that. Kind of depressing.

So, what do you recommend a guy do if he wants to be sure he's getting a quality alternator with spike protection and functional sensing lug, etc? Just go to a trusted auto electric shop and ask them to make you one, or are they all using cheap repro parts too?

Is it just silly to worry about sensing control in a Model A, considering the relatively short wiring runs involved?
