I didnt actually get a kit just individual parts to convert it over to a alternator. Its a 12v 61 Beetle.
Does anyone have a scanned set of instructions available? I also heard to be aware about the generator light in the speedometer that If it goes out it wont charge. Is this true?

and this is what you can do at your voltage reg to accomplish that

I went and had the alternator put in. It wasnt soo bad. At least now its right around 13.5 - 14 volts. With the generator it would go up to 15-16 volts and that was with a new regulator.
