Externally regulated alternator

Has anybody converted their generator to an externally regulated alternator? Yep I know its probably harder to do but I have about 7 of these laying around here as opposed to going out and buying an internally regulated one and the budget is already busted on this beast...

Re: Externally regulated alternator

Nothing wrong with an externally regulated alternator. (I still have mine and the more compact size works better with tall valve covers.) You will still have to buy a new regulator and most of those are electronic inside now anyways. This thread may help

Thanks guys. For some reason when I searched I just found internally regulated posts.
