I have been running the stock generator/regulator set up on my '51 since I got it in 1987. I have never had a bit of trouble, and am even running some extra load on it in the form of a stereo, GPS, and back-up camera (running on a home made inverter/booster).

Like everything else, if properly maintained and in good shape, the stock systems on these old cars work just fine. I am running an Optima battery, because properly sized quality "normal" batteries are difficult to find.
