I found myself a Canadian 1954 261 out of a grain truck. I would like to hear it run. It is not presently in a vehicle. Thought I would strap it down add a battery and a rad and let her have a go at running. Also gas to the fuel pump. Will I have any problems running the engine with the 12volt generator spinning but not having any out put wires to a regulator ? Does the generator need a regulator and gauges or lights so as to have an outlet for the power being produced by the generator ? Eventually it will replace my 216 in my 1950 gmc 1/2 ton if all goes as it should. Thanks
