: I am trying to convert my 8n to 12 volts. I have found a 12 volt alt. from a Gm. The mounting bracket from an old buick v-8 Fit with a few modafications. My problem is the pulley on the GM. alt. is smaller in width than the pulley on the stock generator. Will this cause a proble with the belt ? Do I need to change the pulley or do I use a different belt? Any help here would be wonderfull. Thank you in advance Jim aka Wilseya. : You can e mail me at lybarger@thegrid.net : Thanks again and Wilseya jim all these msg's are from people who do not understand practical.....my 8n runs and starts just fine on 12 v it is rebuilt by the way it was put to work not to look at..........alt. are designed to charge @4000 rpm for optimum perf. i did NOT change pulleys.it will put out 30 amps when ran empty 15amps most times for a few seconds i did mine @6yrs ago .ask any if they can safely jump a 6v system when the kids leave the key on.besides the gm alt. you mention is prob. @20 bucks...go w/ the belt that fits the alt. and watch alignment.....don't forget the ballast resistor for the points.. welcome ,John
