A long, long time ago in another galaxy far, far away we would sometimes fit a smaller diameter pulley to the generator on cars that were only driven around town. This smaller pulley allowed the generators to turn over a little faster and to better keep the battery charged.

For regulator adjustment: you could set up to 15V without significant problems, but you wouldn't want to drive it like that indefinitely.
As for the smaller pulley, this would cause no electrical problems, but you would want to be sure you don't exceed the max generator speed.

I need to adjust up my charging voltage up the 6 volt caribbean...thought I would add a picture to this thread. I took the cover off my voltage regulator, and was happy to find adjustment screws for current (middle relay) and voltage (right rely) I went for a drive tonight, and was reading 6.9 or Max 7 volts. Now to adjust it up a little bit!
