Title says it all really! Are Series II and Series IIA Land Rover electrics driven by an alternator or a dynamo? If both, as I suspect, did the change over take place on a specific year model, e.g. 1968?

dont know the changeover but my old 67/68 IIA was originally a dynamo which had been converted previously.
It was petrol but doubt that makes a difference.

My 1971 Series 2A still has the dynamo (which just died). I'm planning on replacing it using a conversion kit and switching over to a ProLine alternator so I can run all my lights and other gadgets. @Batfink; if you live in the states try out a company called Rovers North at: roversnorth.com. They sell a bolt on conversion kit, just supply an alternator. I use them for all my parts and tech. advice needs and they haven't failed me yet .
