Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate the product for its good fit, ease of installation, and effective performance. Notably, it's said to provide an excellent charge at idle and low RPMs, even when multiple devices are in use. The product also scores high on aesthetics, replicating the look of the original Ford generator it often replaces. Notably, customers valued the internal regulator that eliminates the need for an old-style box. A lightweight aluminium component and polished finished were added bonuses. Many users have shown interest in repurchasing for future builds. Its superior function as compared to alternatives is also highlighted.

Easy change out of old 12V neg grn Ford generator. Internal requlator negates need for old style box. Lightweight aluminum is nice benefit. Polished finish is really good.

I used the black version to better match my 1938 Ford Pickup engine. I was concerned that it might not charge at idle or low rpm's as I had read that was a problem with many one wire alternator's. This alternator is very easy to install and it performs wonderfully. It charges very well at idle and low rpms. It puts out the charge required when the lights are turned on or I use the heater or puller cooling fan. It keeps the system charged. I am extremely pleased with it.

Do you have one with a internal regulator and what about changing the 6 volt coil on top of the dist with a 12 volt coil? Is it neg. ground? I can take care of the gauges and the bulbs. Then I'll need a 12 volt solenoid for the Columbia 2 speed axel. Right?

Do you have this in a black finish like the original generator? The specs say 7" length. Is that from the very back (bearing cap) to front of pully? Will the bracket mount on a standard 1940 block. How about a 1947 block also? (I think they are the same, but am not positive). Please include item #'s if available & pricing.
