Re: Electric cooling fan

I talked to Mr. Allen today. He makes the Gener-Nator. This looks like it meets my desires completely. It looks authentic, even down to the wiring and terminals. It operates like an alternator, supplying 20 amps at idle. This is what I need for the 10 amp cooling fan motor plus a radio or whatever else. My need is to find a core generator to send him so I don't have to buy a good one and pay the full price.

Does anyone have an Autolite GDZ-4801T or GDZ-4801V core generator at a reasonable price? All it needs is a decent looking case and end plates. The coils and brushes are not used in the conversion. My car is a 1950 Deluxe 8.

The cost for the generator conversion and full restoration is about $1000. I do not consider that a too expensive for what you get. These units are show quality. The most imporatant item is supplying enough current to operate the car reliably and not modernizing the looks. He will even restore the stock regulator but modify the internals so the terminal and wires are in the correct places for shows.
