    I'm looking to convert my Model A generator to 12v. And I'm wondering if there are any shops in so cal that you'd recommend?

    Any leads would be much appreciated.

    Thank You!

    Had one done for my 53 Ford at Superior Alternator and Starter in S El Monte. I've had a few over the yeas done there, never a problem and really cheap. I think I paid about 50 bucks.
    Another way to go is give the guys over at Early Ford Store in San Dimas a call. They may have a better reference or one done sitting on the shelf.

    i know this isnt local to you, but www.certifiedautoelectric.com near cleveland has alot of experience with generators and 12 volt conversions. they even have a 6 volt positive ground alternator that the local model a club members use with great success.
