I have a Chevy 1953 3100. It's converted to 12 volt. The generator is toast. Looking at a powermaster alternator. Looks like the original and is bolt in. Looking for information and input. Thanks

Just bought one. It is so much better than the generator. I wanted to keep truck as original as possible. It is essentially an alternator housed in a generator shell. It is for sure a splurge. I kept the regulator mounted on the firewall for show.


54 Chevy 3100 Deluxe 3 speed on column. Keeping original as possible but changed to 12 volt system.

I ordered the powermaster alternator. I plan to leave the regulator as mounted on the firewall. What is required with the wiring? Thanks in advance.
