Thanks Lynn, that might explain why some of my pulley part numbers don't appear in the parts list. For example 79-10130-C on one of my 4 1/2" twin belt CMP pulleys. The parts list only shows prefix 01W and C01W.
Good info on the Lucas genny too, I imagine much the same would hold true for the Ford genny as well. It's the same physics involved, all governed by Faraday's Law. The faster you spin a genny the more voltage it will generate, the only question being whether it's in a useful rpm range for the vehicle. The way my F15A revs on the highway with 16" wheels I suspect it could run a 24 volt system!
Changing the field coils interests me - from my limited knowledge it would only vary the current, not the voltage. I'm not quite sure why it's done, hopefully someone will educate me!
