I am wondering if anyone has converted their older generator equiped lycoming o-235 c1 on a 67 7eca to an alternator. I have seen advertisements for plane powers new FAA PMA light weight alternators. Their fit guide lists all the ACA models. Does that apply to older Ballanca built airplanes? Thanks.

jimstock. I sill havent finished my project, 67 eca rebuild. I am leaving the altrernator for last in hopes that I can still use the lightweight alternator. I talked to the folks at Plane Power at oshkosh 2006, they indicated that the hang up for my airplane was that there is not an aproved mount , they said they were working on one. good luck.
Would the PMA prestolite alternator not work for you? I have a 67 GCAA with an alternator on it. It was a one time STC Interav, but I was told that the standard PMA alternator kit used on later Citabrias , could be used without any further approval since it is standard and on the Citabria parts list that is part of the type certificate data sheet.
