Not sure how its working or what is going to explode but the PO swapped the distributor and coil to 12 volt but left the generator and starter (24 volt). One battery (12 volt) and it starts (turns over slowly) but runs. The BAT CHG gauge reads about 14 to 16 volts when running (thinking this is going to boil the battery but hasn't so far). I want to take it for a drive further than a loop around the neighborhood but not sure what is going to happen.
Anyone seen this work before? Can I just swap the alternator and leave the starter for now? Reading through the threads on starter swaps sounds like there is not a good solution with the civilian starters without damage to the starter or flywheel.
I am going to re-power this thing in the next year or so, just want to drive it now.
Thanks!
