Sounds like you are interested in a Generator-Nator, which looks stock but puts out several times the amps at 6 volts.

Your generator will be gutted using your pulley and housing. It will mount up without modifying the bracket.

Michael sent me this Jay Leno video link.https://youtu.be/IP0zUbgKVTY
His cost around $1,000 for his '40 180, but he saved having to convert to 12v, which opens a can of worms, while charging his battery much faster and lights shining much brighter. The voltage regulator in electronic and built in, eliminating the coil/contact original (you can leave it mounted on the firewall).

I'm talking myself into getting one myself, but everything on the Duchess electrically is working as it should and Dwight provided halogen sealed beams, so I'll wait until I'm 80.
