|
|
Is there anybody that is doing these? I have a fantastic condition 6V generator on my 1956 Oval, but I want to rewind it to 12V. The rest of the car is converted to 12V already.
Thanks. |

Great info. I think I'll order the kit and rebuild it myself. Thanks all. |

This may sound totally crazy but if you are familiar with Mike fn garage on YouTube he explains how he got a 6v generator to put out 12v by just using a 12v regulator.

That's really cool! I was actually thinking of keeping my 12v generator since it's working so well (when I put my new motor in) but wouldn't mind freshening it up for the new motor too.
Anybody here have Don do theirs & know approx cost & turnaround time??
ALSO ------- Maybe an obvious answer but...........Do current alternators sold all over the web have "INTERNAL REGULATORS" built-in? I recall the old Motorolas had those white boxes on top & today's I don't see that. Curious if it's just not visible or ????
TIA |

You can, but it’ll fry once you run it with any sort of load on it. _________________ modok wrote:
