Re[2]: again considering 12v conversion

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm.jf.intel.com>]

I have a '65 engine that is 6v.  I noticed that my 12v generator will not fit on
the 6v generator mount as the 12v generator is bigger than the 6v.  Comparing 
the two, side by side, confirmed this.  My question:  Is there a 12v generator 
that is the size of the 6v generator (my guess, from below, is 'yes' but I wanna
make sure)?  If so, is a larger generator better than a smaller one (voltage and
amperage being the same, I presume) and why?  If they're the same why did VW go 
with a bigger object?  Enlighten me, por favor.
