I continue to collect all the various needed components to convert my '51 Tudor to 12 volts. Got the 12v solenoid and relay for the OD, clock converted, bulbs, voltage drop for gauges, etc., which brings me to charging. I love the look of a generator on a flathead, but that being said, I'm going with an alternator with internal regulator, but which one? Years ago I installed a one wire 6v positive ground alternator on a previous '51, and it was real simple and worked well. I've read where some had the problem of the car continue to run when the ignition was turned off, but I didn't. I read that a 3 wire alternator is better because it is "excited" right away when started and begins charging right away. I am looking at an alternator offered by www.fifthaveinternetgarage.com which is a 3 wire US made unit that uses a Delta type stator resulting in stronger output at idle and low speeds. I'm not going to over research this (perhaps I already have?) but if anyone wanted to take a look at the above website and look at this alternator, that would be great. Any other comments, experiences most welcome. Thanks
