The ballast system was fitted to get round the problem of low
voltage at cold cranking speeds. The coil is an 8 volt one which
is suplied with 12 volts during cranking, if you look on the
starter solenoid there is a connection usualy opposite the
ignition switch cranking connection, this supplys 12 volts to the
output/coil side of the ballast resistor in creasing the secondary
output of the coil. If you are concerned about looks have a
thought about the dynamo/alternators that are on the market.
I dont know the amps output, but I think if you look at increasing the speed whith a smaller pulley it should keep the
output up. The control box can stay and the wireing there will
be instuctions with the unit. Your ground clearance should be
6" under the exhaust system.
