Maybe a 12V Battery???

sgetty, this is the first thing i did to my 64 when i got it, definitely worthwhile. Fiddly job changing the generator with the engine in, i struggled to get the fan housing high enough, but not out of the realms of doing the job in your shed

yeah thinking about an alternator kit also,main reason for going 12volt is im getting sick of the two candles out the front when im out at night cruzing, hehe
