External to Internal Voltage Regulation

[gjcombs]

All,

I have an alternator and regulator that may need to be replaced. Can, or should, I replace it with an alternator with an internal regulator?

Something like this?

Okay. That's the short answer.

Are there any gotchas to matching charging ability or wiring? The one depicted in the link only has a ground connection and a wire that goes to the battery.

Ayuh,... Not really,... An alternator will only produce whatever power that is required...
Just by-pass the regulator...

Btw,... That's a ground,+ the wire that goes to the battery lug on the Starter...
