Mark- I am also new to the world of blogs, if I understand correctly all you need to do is click the above address (I will check it and see if it is valid) and then all you need to do is read whatever posts you care to. I dont think you have to sign up or anything like that?? Trying to figure out right now how to post classroom pics to the posts, I am sure its possible, just havent learned how yet...

Dan, I'd like to follow your school blog, but as I have so far steadfastly resisted getting into blogs, facebook, etc, I'm not sure of the best way to get your blog updates... can you school an old dinosaur in Texas? thanks, Mark

Ha Ha, dont worry! It will keep the generator - no alternator on this one, that wouldnt look right. Think maybe I'll try it under the cowl. Havent told the kids about the HAMB, some posts there arent real school friendly. My student last year who was working on a y-block I did introduce him to this site, think he enjoyed it. If anyone here would like to keep an eye on what we are doing in shop can check out our blog - something new I came up, want to see how it works for our class... http://dansautoshopblog.blogspot.com/

I think the generator helps to make it look like a cool old school hot rod . Rebuild it and it will function well for years . I do agree the voltage regulator looks cluttered and messy . Definatey put it out of site or just paint the cover black so it blends instead of stands out . just a suggestion

Dan: Wow, what a shop class! Co-ed too! Is there room for the voltage regulator on the inside of the firewall? That's where it is for my channeled '33 pickup street rod.

PLEASE convert to a alternator and get rid of the voltage regulator.

RE the volt regulator. Will you have room to mount it on the top or side of the frame rail? Or Maybe work a mount into the radiator support?
