I have a '65 Alon with a bad 35amp generator--too bad to repair. So I decided to put on a 60amp alternator. The EOC club has a 337 for installing one on the Ercoupe, but not the Alon. Any Alon owners have a 337 on installin the alternator?
To make matters worse, on get the alternator and attempting to install it, we found that the radio-interference capacitor connector on the left mag interfers with the installation of the alternator. Choices: return the alternator and get a generator (guess they are available), or replace the Bendix mags with Slick mags. My Bendix mags were overhauled almost 10 yrs and 500 hours ago, with 1 or more AD's since to replace the coil, etc. Two different AP's have recommended switching from the old Bendix to the new 4301 Slick mags. Apparently this is common for the Ercoupes (?), but I think I will also need a 337 for the Slick mags on the Alon. Anyone got one of them? Any help or comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
