Perhaps you've already seen this ebay listing for a 6v DelcoRemy generator, claiming to be a replacement for 1934 Plymouth, and many others.

exact match not needed as long as it fits. My genny guy says this is a "short" unit? I also do not have the bracket for it.

I've never actually measured them, but all the generator brackets I've seen on Plymouth 6 engines looked exactly the same to me ('33 up into the '50s). In the late 40's or early 50's they went to a narrow belt. But other than that I'd have expected any generator and/or bracket from '33 through some time in the '40s to bolt right in. Later ones have an external voltage regulator and a lot higher capacity. Could be that there were some differences in length that you'd have to carefully measure to find, but I'd be a little surprised.

As far as Plymouth is concerned that is a one model beast: '33 and earlier were third brush regulation only as were the '34 PF and PG. Only the '34 PE had a Delco-Remy generator with a voltage regulator. And then in '35 they went to using Auto-Lite. They might have used that same generator on Dodge but I don't have the books to tell.

If you are going to gut the thing and have it rebuilt for 12v is it critical that you have an exact match?

need a genny that will fit my 34 PE coupe. the specs show Delco Remy 937-P with a DR 5540 regulator.

Any idea why every year seems to be a different number? How many changes can one make with a genny?

The old Autolite series (Indian motorcycle) had different #'s but were the same units.

anyways, something that I can rework to 12 volts.
Thanks
