65amp wiring/trouble shooting

Regulator part number from the 1973 parts Catalog shows it was used for all Chrysler alternators that year.
So your replacement is probably fine for the application. At least as fine as replacement parts are these days.

The 65 amp L/C listed in that book is a Leece Neville alternator, and thats why it gets a different regulator.
I don't quite understand. The original VR in my car I had to replace has the parts number 3438 150, just like the one on top. But the 65amp had a different VR?
The replacement is an SMP VR125.
