GM vehicles haven't used the old style "generator" since at least the early '60's.

They may have a "generator" light on the dashboard, but there'll be an early-style diode-rectified alternator under the hood. My '66 now has an internally-regulated later-style alternator, and the original regulator is bypassed. (Better charging at low engine speed/idle)

Seems I read somewhere that "alternator" was a Chrysler trademark. I'm not sure that's true, though.

END trade with Communist China.
