I appreciate that not everybody agrees with this but my boss has decided that he wants to use a 6V Pos. Grand. Alternator (that looks like a generator) on his ‘51 F-1 with 8BA. I much prefer US made parts if they can possibly be located. Suggestions on which one to buy and the best place to buy it? Thanks

My H&H rebuilt flathead came with a Power Master alternator.

Try E.J. Whitney in Fullerton, CA https://ejwhitneyco.com/automotive.html. They may have what you're looking for. I've had one of their 6 V alternators on my truck for 9 years.

These guys have one but it's not cheap. And its a Power Master. I don't know anything about their alternators but their starters are junk. IMO
