bartamos, while your advise would normally be 100% right on, in this case it’s not doable. Sparky is a high quality restoration project and an alternator would be totally out of place. When finished, unless you are a highly trained show judge you will not be able to tell anything has been modified. How do I know this you ask? I’ve been privileged to visit Sparky in his natural habitat (the garage) and have a first hand tour by his owner. Testing for dead shorts is the way to go. One wire at a time, slow, steady and thorough will yield positive results.
