    Spring is just around the corner. I have a 59 AB flathead with a modern GM style alternator. I'd like to switch to the alternator that looks like the original 6V generator. I see 2 different manufacturers on Ebay - Powermaster and Speedway. They are the same price. Are they the same thing? Is there an Alliance vendor that would be a better source for this? I would like to support HAMB Alliance Vendors if possible.

    Also, can I change the small fan and pulley ***embly on the front so it has the larger fan for the radiator or does that cause issues with the alternator/bearings. My GM style alternator is set up that way.

    Thanks for the help.

    a good shop can take your stock generator and modify it. i had mine done 5-6 years ago and they charged me 75.00 if i recall.
