Hello Kent,

Surely you meant this one....

Would it matter if it is a 5 watt or 3 watt?

As for the other option pointed out by 1 Ton Tommy, I am not against switching to a system that will incorporate an external voltage regulator since it will be period correct... The questions are:

1- Will I have to replace the headlamp switch
2- Can I go to a 35 or 45 amp system
3- Depending which way is best, I have to source out a generator and wire it to a truck that did not come with a voltage regulator, only a cutout relay... I also would not be able to use the mechanically driven tachometer currently installed (believe there since the 40's) unless the current backplate would ft the new generator... Ahhhh, it gets complicated!
