Hi !

Thank you both for your input.

12,6 V at the battery was tested engine not running. But i agree that it might not be in the best of shape after such a long period of inactivity, so despite having been charged prior to leaving the shop it could be in bad shape.

Info about the needs of a generator is clear. The only car i had with a generator i converted to a later model alternator, but it was a bit more straightforward to do.

Jaems you say you have an alternator, and indeed i would like to do the same, especially if i need to start spending money on parts to fix the current system. Could you share what you did and what parts you used to do so ? I've found one retailer in the US who sells a conversion kit that looks good but for some reason shipping with them is like 50% of the price of the kit and then you get stolen another 30% by import tax. Would rather spend on other parts i need, but if there's no other option on the market.

Thanks

Joseph
