Thanks Jerry for the very accurate way to solve the problem. The factory 6 volt generator mounts to the right side on a pivot bracket...Just as the alternator shows in the picture I sent. My reason to go back to the generator is the appearance factor...I made a tool to remove the "pole Shoes" screws, so, there's no problem re-installing them as tight as they were. There's a person out in Oregon that rebuilds/converts 6 volts generator to 12 volts. He is sending me the correct 12 volt Field coils and the correct 12 volt 3 terminal voltage regulator. I don't need to change the 6 volt armature to 12 volts, although I will lose about 18% to 20% of my AMPS with this setup. My main reason to go back to the original look, do away with the old system of points, condenser, etc, and add a high energy external 12 volt round can coil. NOTE: I didn't know 1956 Ford were 12 volts. I thought 12 volts didn't come till 1959.
