alternator
Does anyone make a conversion kit that uses the original generator case with an alternator inside? 6 or 12 volt, I don't care. I just want the old school look.

Re: alternator
EJ Whitney is doing a 6 volt conversion for my early V8 pickup.
Russ Evans is the guy for Model "A" generators. both are great sources.

Re: alternator
Consider an EVR by Tom Wesenberg instead. That lets you keep your original generator.

Re: alternator
Russ Evans is the guy for Model A alternator/generator look-a-likes. He makes them up as they are ordered. Cost is about $385.00 and it will pass fine points judging. The 6 volt positive ground unit has an output of 45 amps. Great workmanship and he's a real nice guy to deal with. He doesn't have an email address so you have to call he direct. His number is 508-583-4221 in Simi Valley, California. You won't be sorry you spent the money.

Of course, if your car is LOADED up with all kinds of electronic devises, I can see where you might be more comfortable with the fully comprehensive modern alternator. I too, like many of us, find the visual aspect of a modern alternator a bit jarring and noticeably 'out of place'. So I fully understand your wanting to both have it AND to HIDE it. |

Re: alternator
I run the Fun Projects can style voltage regulator on my roadster . I use the 12 volt positive ground version with my original unmodified model A generator . No wires have to be changed. Six and eight volt versions are also available as well as negative ground versions. Here is mine.

Re: alternator
It has been awhile since we looked at those there was someone in the Pacific Northwest that was doing it but it was pretty expensive something like $300-$400.
