Re: Alternator or not?
I converted to 12V and used a later model generator. It puts out enough to run bright lights at night or run the fan during the day.

Re: Alternator or not?
Personally, I quit using generators on everything in the early 70's; put a Chrysler alternator and regulator on my '56 Ford and never looked back. I had enough trouble with generators and regulators prior to that to last a life-time...

Re: Alternator or not?
Latter model alternators ruin the appearance of a flathead. Bone ugly! These look good but not necessary. I would stick to the generator. Carry a spare if worried. Alternators go out too, especially the diodes.

No apologizes. or smug. Nothing wrong with asking or adding info. Someone will add. It's the process of learning. It's just the internet. Otherwise it would be one or two guys telling you that is how it is. Last edited by Tinker; 03-27-2020 at 02:01 AM. |

Re: Alternator or not?
You might want to consider an E.J.Whitney alternator. https://www.ejwhitneyco.com/automotive.html
I installed his 6V positive ground unit in the tonner. He uses the front and back of your core and the guts of a tractor alternator tucked inside a housing of his own design. It is a single wire alternator that uses the GEN BAT wire in the OEM harness. It looks like the Ford OEM generator. |
