So I want to convert my 49 plymouth over to 12 volt and still use my stock generator. So I do as the tech tips here at inliners.org say and take my generator down to a very reputable electric motor shop to get my field coils swapped out.

The guys there tell me to just get a 12 volt voltage regulator and not change the field coils. They explain to me that the generator already cranks out a ton of amperage and that only changing the regulator should be fine.

Does this sound right?

Please note: I am hell-bent on keeping a generator and cannot be convinced otherwise...

Thanks in advance.
