Conversion

With what John has just said, it is probably possible to run the original genny to produce 12 volts, by just swapping the 6 volt regulator for a 12 volt one from a dodge 12 volt. Then everything looks original. The genny should be fine at 12 volt. When you run one up without the regulator, they'll put out upwards of 50 volts ( for a short time)
