Lode51 'Bolter L Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 84 B.C. Canada	I'm converting my 6 volt '51 to 12 volt. I have a 1960 235 and I will be trying to installing a one wire alternator. Looking in Classic Industries catalogue for ideas I noticed that amperage varies from model to model. Fo a 1960 inline 6 it needs a 30 amp alternator. Any concerns if I get one that is more that 30? Thanks
