David: The change over is going to cost you probably $200., plus it will be more expensive to maintain. These days, when an alternator goes, $50. will usually get you a new one with builtin regulator. Rebuilds on generators are usually $100.+ and that doesn't include the regulator.

You now have a superior charging system, puts out 3+ times the amps, much more reliable. On the M no one really knows unless they look under hood, thus in a parade situation looks very original.

I have a Super A, still 6 volt, however it is alternator charging. Before I changed, it was constant problems. That was 12 years ago and I'm just now needing a new battery. Why did the battery last 12 years, you may ask? Simply because it was always well charged.
