In my opinion, whether you need more current supply or not isn't the
primary reason to go with an alternator or an electronic voltage
regulator. Either will provide a more stable voltage to the system, which
is good for anything electrical including points and coils, overdrive
solenoids, fuel pumps and especially electronic ignitions like pertronix
etc.. If you have an electronic tach like on the later cars, it will be
more stable too and happier with a cleaner power source. I would use the
electronic regulator if you decide to rebuild the generator.
