In your blog you discuss the alternator vs. generator battle. I am considering switching to an alternator set-up for my 1960 CJ5 Jeep. The reason being I am finding it harder and harder to locate people that are qualified to work on the generator much less tinker with the voltage regulator as you also mention.

You state that there is a slight advantage to switching to alternator. Do you have a manual or instructions for purchase on how to do this?

It is basically up to a personal judgment call. I would recommend just sticking with what you’ve got – because like I’ve said here on the blog, having an alternator won’t make that big of a difference.

We have no manual or instructions regarding this. There is a brief discussion about it in our restoration guide, did you get that?

Do you guys fuse any of the circuits on your harness?

If by “fuse the circuits” you’re asking if everything is line, the answer is yes – of course.
