Ten or 12 years ago I put together a conversion kit based on various

accomplish the job.
The key components are a Delco 10Si alternator (used on roughly a billion GM
products and available anywhere) and a wide pulley that I got from an
agricultural machinery supplier. The alternator required some trimming of
the mounting boss to get the belt alignment right, but its very simple. I
directly wired the alternator output to the battery via a heavy duty fuse
hidden inside the gutted voltage regulator case to avoid any issues with
stressing out the wiring harness. I also recall installing a resistor in
parallel on the generator light to get the alternator to kick in at a lower

It works great and is completely reversible if a future owner ever wants to
experience life with a 19 amp generator.
Good luck.

Hey all ~
I know we've been down this road numbers of times but I was wondering if,
among those who have converted to the use of an alternator, is there a
model
someone can recommend? Since some folks ask *why*, I anticipate adding
electrical loads with various electrical needs and yes, I'd like to
consider
use of LED headlamps. Seems like the Moss conversion kit (130-058) is
somewhat pricey, being north of $300.
