Re: Newbie's got a question!

In my garage, I am dumping the original 12v generator and regulator for a one-wire alternator. Any parts house will have one, make sure you know how to install and polarize them or you can fry the generator and/or alternator. I learned that lesson many moons ago, replace generator and regulators together.
