I'm prepping it for the paint now, so have all the chromy bits off. It's fairly rust-free, since it was in a garage for over 20 years. I have a disc-braked wire-wheel rolling frame in a field near he

Keep in mind that My experience with the positive to negative conversion is on a '60 Land Rover. The only change I made was that I swapped sides with the coil wires. Along with the wires to the batte

I have a GM (AC Delco) alternator in my 1967 MGB GT. You want either a 10 SI or 12 SI model (70 to 78 amps), but really, you'd be better off doing the Lucas or Bosch conversion which are just bolt-on
