An alternator is the preferred option. You can replace the existing
generator by a generator look alike alternator, but they are very pricy.
A Lucas 16-18ACR or Delco equivalent was the usual alternator in the
late 60's/70's/80's. Found on most British cars (Mini, Triumph, MG,
Landrover, Jensen Healey etc.) from that era plus a few other Europeans
e.g. SAAB. A partial very simple rewire is at hand as there is no
control box neccesary.
These Lucas units can be found new for less than $60 in Europe. I do not
know the US situation.
