Thanks for adding the part I forgot.

The GM SI series is the one usually adapted for the Corvair.  "rock crusher" 
built, you can add a bigger diode to strengthen it, it will run forever.

Sort of like the M-16.  Replaced the M14- an almost indestructible shoulder 
weapon. Took 30 years of modification for the M-16 to work as well.
