Hi guys, I happened by an antique car show yesterday, and stopped in. The had a nice selection of late 20's ford trucks, and also 50's models ford and chevy cars. Why am I bringing this up? It was so neat to look under the hoods of those 28-30 fords and see the 6v genny with roundcan cutout on top of them... no regulator. Had the odd shaped distribuitor cap with metal arms going to each spark plug.. great vintage stuff. Both the 50' fords and chevy's had 12v gennys and regulators. Was interesting to not that both the ford genny's and the delco genny's looked identical. And some models even used a similar wrap around band style mount that out N's do. I got my NAA and it was already farmer converted to a 12v alternator. I cleaned up the wiring and it charges good.. just looks ugly.. but now that it is 12v.. I like it, as I can use it with some 12v items.. sprayer, etc. After seeing that car show, I am way tempted to track one of those 12v genny's down and mount it up... Who cares If I don't get 30-45 amps... 20 would be fine. Now I just gotta go shop prices..... . ho hum.. Happy easter to all. Soundguy
