Searching around for a replacement for the Prestolite ALK-5001
alternator on my Lark, I found that Wilson Auto Electric of Winnipeg
makes direct, bolt-in replacements for the Prestolite alternators,
generators, regulators and even some starters our Studes were equipped
with.

Their online catalog lists replacements for sixes and V8s from 1952 to end of production. Check out www.wilsonautoelectric.com .
Sorry if this is already known information, but it's news to me ![](sdc37505_files/icon_smile_sleepy.gif)

The reason that Canada has newly made replacement parts for Studebakers
is because Studebakers are still being produced up there in Hamilton
Ontario, don't cha know. ![](sdc37505_files/icon_smile_big.gif)

Wilson is a rebuilder, IIRC, not a manufacturer. But their stuff is
generally good, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it. They have been in
the business for many years.

Wish they had a price list, but I'm guessing not cheap.

I have been running a Wilson reman for about three years on a daily
driver. Got to love it. Before that I was going through one every 6
months through Napa. The owner of my local Napa told me that he was
tired of me hassling over my alt and ordered the Wilson.![](sdc37505_files/icon_smile_big.gif)
