If you like traditional looks and reliable, modern performance, you’ll love this cool Flathead alternator. It has the look of an original generator, but is really a 6-volt, positive-ground alternator that produces 60 amps at idle and 75 amps going down the road. This 1-wire alternator is designed to fit 1949-1953 Ford & Mercury Cars and 1948-1953 Ford Trucks with Flathead V8s and features a simple one-wire hookup.

We offer it in black painted or polished aluminum, and both include stock-appearing mounting brackets (the stock fan carrier bolts to that bracket) and pulleys that accept wide 5/8” belts.

  • Easy one-wire hookup
  • 5/8" wide belt pulley included
  • If using 3/8" wide belt, order pulley # 91067178
  • Uses stock-appearing bracket and fan carrier bolts

    Just because you've got a vintage Flathead Ford V8 in your ride doesn't mean you're stuck with the antiquated charging system. Switching to a tried-and-true GM 1-wire alternator is a great upgrade for any Flathead-equipped vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system. 
    • Bracket fits 1946-1953 V-8 engines
    • Heavy-duty steel construction
    • Can easily be painted to match your engine
    • Designed to work with the two narrow-belt drive system typical of late '50-'53 Ford/Mercury passenger cars
    • Will not work with single wide belts unless the alternator is modified (see Notes)

    If you like traditional looks and reliable, modern performance, you’ll love this cool Flathead 1-wire alternator. It has the look of an original generator, but is really a 12-volt, negative-ground alternator that produces 60 amps at idle and 75 amps going down the road. This model is designed to fit 1949-1953 Ford & Mercury Cars and 1948-1953 Ford Trucks with Flathead V8s and features a simple one-wire hookup.

    If you are still running the 6-volt system on your car, truck or even tractor, the generator is your weak point. Even at highway speed that old generator cannot put out enough to keep up with the lights, heater motor and radio. This alternator puts out 60 amps at 7.5 volts at highway speeds, up to 30 amps at idle, and has the regulator built in. It includes the required plug and can be installed on almost any engine by modifying or purchasing a new mounting bracket.
