Hi,I'd like to do a conversion on my '59 Dodge Coronet, but since the passenger side head does not have the bolt holes for the later alternator bracketry, it looks like I'll have to find some way to use the existing generator bracketry that attaches to the exhaust manifold and water pump housing. Has anyone done this? Does anyone know of any ready made kits for such a thing? I don't think I have the equipment nor metalworking expertise to fashion my own. Also, I'd need a tip on what alternator/regulator to use (I'd like something 100amp) and how to rewire for it. I have an article from Auto Restorer Magazine that recommends using a "DA plug" to make the alternator start charging at a lower RPM idle (because supposedly modern alternators aren't "switched on until 1200 RP or so, and it is possible for an alternator-converted car to NOT shutdown after switch the key off). Does anyone have any experience with these symptoms and/or this DA plug as a solution?
