It can be cost effective to have a 6V generator rewound to 12 volts. In my
case it was a Delco-Remy on the D-14. There was no problem getting the 12
volt field coil and everything including new bearings labor and test was
just over $100. Change the regulator & coil and although I didn't change
the starter solonoid yet it will be sometime soon.
Keeping the generator avoids kludging brackets to make an alternator fit or
cutting a hole in the hood or having an alternator project beyond the hood,
but an alternator does provide a lot more charging current if you need
it.for some reason.
