<VV> Generator To Alternator Conversion Question

[Mark Durham]

Greg, I did the same thing on my 62 Coupe. When I put the pulley and spacer
from the donor corvair alternator on and tightened the nut it took out that
slop. The 12 SI Alternator has operated perfectly for 3 years.

I used this diagram and installed a connector block over on the frame rail
just ahead of the battery instead of leaving the regulator hanging there.
