Has anyone converted a Hercules A to an alternator?

This place is in FL. Do you know who did yours in OK. I'm in NE OK.

It is a plastics company and they have the mold for a 1960.

Does anyone know if a 1960 18' Continental windshield is the same as a1959 18' Continental? If you don't know, do you know where I can find out? My '59 windshield was destroyed in a fire and I've found a company that can make one for a '60.

When I get the igniter ring in a certain position it will almost start but it just pops and backfires.

Jim,

I got the conversion kit and installed it. Now I can't get it started. The instructions said to orient the ring until it slides down into place. This one will fit in any of the 4 positions. I'm stumped. Do you have any ideas for me to try?

Sorry its taken me so long to post the number. The kit you want is number 1548. This is the 12 volt kit for the 4 cylinder IAY dist.

THANKS!!! Don't worry about the time frame, I just remembered to check back with you.

Thank you, I've spent days searching with no luck. Everyone has conversion kits for the 4008 and the 4012 but not the 4010.

Does anyone know where I can get an electronic conversion kit for a Hercules Model A? It has an AutoLite IAY 4010 distibutor or where I can purchase a new electronic distributor?
