Converting dynamo to alternator

Night-time charging is poor. Indeed, I have more concern of running out of battery power than fuel at night if traffic is heavy. I did get the charging equipment refurbished fairly recently, but it isn't that effective. Maybe converting dynamo to alternator?

Should be simple enough to find the right brackets since you're starting with a B-series block.
