Only and opinion... I have two WC's I have replaced both generators with Delco, two wire alt's. I very much agree it is real easy to go into a parts store and ask for a Altenator for a 1978 Chevy half ton than the generator would be. I have been there! I did use the cast pullies off the generators to provide for the wide belt. For appearance sake I tuned the flange of the pully to more closely match the body of the altenator. Much of the question is... are you a purist or do you get your joy in driving the thing. I'm a driver.
