I recently put in an exciter circuit on my 1966 IH 140 with an Hitachi alternator conversion. I finally got tired of running the RPM's up high to get the alt to start charging. I used this item from NAPA #BK 3354011 . It fits in a 5/16" round hole just like a toggle. The bulb is permanent, and they don't give any specs on the bulb. I can only tell you it works perfectly, installs in an easy-to-drill hole, and looks as though it has been there since the factory. Alt now charges from start-up, which is one-third throttle for me.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
