Re: [Amc-list] generators

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

One of the newere, or older companies makes small case alternators in single wire.
There is also a street rod company, or was, that makes fake generators! They are alternators in a generator style case. I don't know if the come in dingy faded black paint though :[
Probably only available in the stupid blinding shiny stuff....
