Very neat.  Are you going to swap the water pump pulley for a  pre-smog 
pulley?

I just  finished a "generator to alternator" conversion on my 1966 
Austin Healey  Sprite. I took pics along the way showing the brackets 
I fabricated and  modifications to the alternator and voltage 
regulator. I used the VR as a  terminal block.

My philosophy along the way was to make mods to the  alternator and 
not make mods to the Sprite - like not shaving away the  mounting 
bracket on the water pump to get the belt in proper alignment. So  all 
my mods can easily be "undone" if I or a new owner should want to go  
back to a generator. (why?)

I also updated my wiring diagram to  show the new wiring with the 
alternator (and relays I added in my last  project). A pic of the 
wiring diagram is included.

The pics are at  my Flickr album at the URL below.
