To further complicate the issue, I converted a Super A to 12V years ago, with the true 1 wire GM alternator. The tractor had a mag instead of a battery ignition, so the ballast resistor didn't come into play. The only problem I had was the small discharge/battery drain as was mentioned in this thread previously. I'm no electrician, and a friend of mine suggested using one of the oil pressure ports to install a 2 wire oil pressure switch--- bought over the counter from NAPA. I put this switch in the 1-wire circuit so that when the engine started, the system was energized and she charged fine. When there was no oil pressure, the switch opened and I had no battery draw. Probably using a sledgehammer to kill an ant, but it's still working 20 years later.
