S@Sm The 71 bus has a 12V generator on it now. I read on Samba many different opinions about changing it to an altenator. (as Steveo says,"Samba is your best friend") But after reading all of their opinions, I,m more confused then I was before.
I hope when the motor is done (or before) to know the answer, whether to change over to an altenator or not.
Any ideas?
Bud
Wish you were closer bud, seems we are the only night owls in the club. :o
I can ad you to my IM Yahoo Messenger list if you have one? Then we can talk off line, I have my family and a friend in Florida on there now.
Car's used point dizzy's and generators for 50 years with no problems & they are easy to fix & maintain. IMHO I just don't see the need for electronics & alternators on our older cars. Heck thats one of the reasons we own them isn't it? because they can be fixed modified & repaired by ourselves 2CENTS

s#r Unless, you like to spend d-s d-s then by all means, spend away.
2 cars = 2 generators
Both work just fine!
MMMMMWWWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:
Come to the dark side , Bud! We have cookies!!!
I made the switch years ago!!!!
John: the 66 Ghia has an altenator ( came with the engine install)
Now for the BIG question-- will a good working generator be able to handle a dual battery isolator, so I can charge two battery's at the same time ???
The answers I got from Samba, were- to say the least more confusing f+t

Thanks for your answers, looking for more on the above :icon_arrowu:

I'm not big on electric but I don't see why it couldn't. Why do you want to switch back? Remmember when you switch you'll need to get another regulator
John:
I don't want to switch back anything on the Ghia :icon_study:
Just want to know if I will need an altenator to use the two battery isolator on the 71 bus, it now has a generator ???
Thanks
Bud
The Gen, can. You will only be charging one at a time.
