That's one you want to keep just as it is and pass it on to your kids. Have to give your dad credit to have enough get up and go to start a project at the age of 80. I hope I am that lucky but I am thinking my get up and go will have got up and left by the time I reach 70, never mind 80.
And what !!! it has a gm delco alternator shss Is it allowed to have that charging type of charging system.. That's not a dc injected charging system is it..

Dam chuck if you opened some of the links I sent you you would of seen this
For many years the model 10SI and 12SI DELCO alternator has been a favorite for all types of cars, trucks and machinery. Here’s a THREE-WIRE 12SI on a ’30 Model A FORD, and it still has a Model A engine! (The old Model A generator was not strong enough to support ordinary sealed-beam headlights, the Model A had small light bulbs in a large reflector lamp assembly.) Notice that the old Model A has also been up-graded to electric radiator fans, which save horsepower when cruising (especially when revved up to 45 MPH!) Ha! (The fans are not needed at cruise speed, and it really does save horsepower not to pull a fan on the water pump.)
At the dash of the old Model A, the 15 AMP gauge was removed in favor of a Warning Light, which operates perfectly with the THREE-WIRE model 12SI alternator. (Shown with ignition ON, engine stopped.)
Joe Kubota sells a small one I think its a Denso there are some aftermarket ones that come in a can to look like an old generator but I will have to remember who sells them . to give you a idea here is a kubota stuck beside a norton motor
Slim I am going to take me out behind the barn and kick my butt.. then come back to house and eat a bowl of humble pie..I did read those links I got reading the first one and just took a look at that 2nd one part way down..Now just looking at stuff again I ordered a 140 amp 1 wire.. they told me the one wire will charge 70 amp at idle.. 600 rpm..

I forgot about Joes flat head.. I seen one some place at a swap or some place somebody had a flathead and it had a 10s1 delco on it somehow he had made or bought an aluminum cover that the alternator was mounted inside this bracket ..I remember at the time thinking how neat it was, it looked like it belonged there and sure made it easy to upgrade the charging system..
