internal or external regulator / fire wall mount ?
mechanic pointed out that the alternator currently in the vehicle is the "wrong" alternator, previous owner had something rigged up. How do I determine if the alternator I need has an "internal or external regulator / fire wall mount" ?
It should be internal. I've never had a 60 with an external regulator.
How early? I'm guessing 40s changed at the same time? The earliest 60 I've owned was an 82. I think it was made in 11/81 IIRC.Some early 60's had externally regulated alternator systems Eric. Rather rare.

Thanks for the info! Do the alternators you have available include the regulator and pulley? Do I need to have the alternator rebuilt? Thanks again for any and all info!!!It should be internal. I've never had a 60 with an external regulator.
Any way I can get a pic???Mine are used take offs with pulleys and internal regulators.
That's a pic of mine. Looks like a Napa alternator. Yes? No?
