    Kits? You just need a 12 v generator and regulator, and of course change 6v light bulbs and use the reducer for the gauges

    Was looking at going to a alternator.

    12 V Gens are spendy

    RockAuto has rebuilt 12V generators for the 223 engine at $38.99 (AC Delco brand). Bought one last month, part number is 334-1001.
