Is anyone using Powermaster's PowerGen? Recommendations?

If you have an idiot light and want to keep it order the one that comes with that feature. I looked into them but decided that since the mount was down so low most wouldn’t see an alternator I bought the set up from CASCO for a T-Bird and made some bushings to make it work on the car. It is painted black and hardly noticeable. Good luck...

The Casco alternator conversion kit is the way to go. Idiot light works. No complaints.

I have one. I have used it. But I would not buy another unless I was really concerned about how things looked - that is, it is important for the alternator to look like the original generator.

I've been running one for a few years. Works fine; Looks right. A little pricey but worth it to me because I try to keep my T Bird looking original even though a lot of things aren't orginal.

To each his own. I have one on my 31 Model A AA, my 57 Skyliner, and two of my Thunderbirds. I plan on putting one on mu 56 F100 BBW that I am doing a frame up on. I LOVE mine. Are they expensive? YEAH!! But I like my 50's cars to look like 50's cars and this is the way to go. I even use the original voltage regulator as a terminal box so it looks like it is totally stock.

If your car is, and will remain, 100% original, and your generator light does not come on at low rpm, probably nothing.
