Alternator Generator conversion

[Purdy Swoft]

I'm running an original generator on 12 volts in my roadster with a Fun Projects voltage regulator. It is a simple easy set up but doesn't put out 60 amps like some alternators. It easily puts out 12 volts and required no mods to the generator and will handle 35 w halogen bulbs that fit original sockets. If you plan on running a bunch of high amp accessories this set up won't be for you .

As Purdy says and I asked in my other post, depends on what else he is running if an original will work.
