When I changed from positive to negative ground, the alternator was installed. The air conditioning folks, and others, claimed that an alternator was a necessity. The current draw with lights on and radio and a/c going full blast, a generator wouldn't handle the load. At idle, in particular, the battery would be drained.

If that advice was wrong, I'm happy to hear the original generator would handle the load. My experience with generator equipped cars is that at idle the lights dim and the amp meter shows discharge.
