The charging amps depends first on what genny it is, Im NOT familiar with IHC but many of the older 3 brush units didnt put out much over 10 amps and even the later 2 brush units that used a Voltage Regulator were maybe 20 amps max. That being said with your older 6 volt unit Id expect maybe 5 to 10 amps charge right after a start up and then back down to 5 and under depending on if its set at Low or High Charge and your RPM
As far as converting to a full fledged Voltage Regulator they have an advantage in that the charge rate is automatically controlled by the VR versus a Low or High Charge light switch, but its NOT original and more expensive, I dont see any pressing need to convert if all you need is a new cutout relay assuming you have a good working LHBD combination light and charge control (Low or High charge) switch. Also a VR dont cause it to charge at any higher rate the it would using a LHBD switch if it has a good proper ground.
That LHBD switch wires to the gennys FLD post and provides the gennys Field ground so it needs a good ground itself to make her charge. When running at fast RPM momentarily ground the gennys FLD post dead to ground n see how she charges then?? If it does then but not otherwise the switch is bad or not well grounded or the wires bad from gennys FLD post up to the switch

Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
