i've seen and read a little about gm or other donor parts to convert the lucas lighning bug alternator to a modern 55 amp or higher output. the one that interests me the most is the gm as i am more familiar with gm products. can anyone point out maybe a supplier with parts and instructions or an article which can be a good reference?:banghead::banghead::banghead:
thanks.
i have a '73 tr6 with stock electrical.
