Internal Reg.alternator on 69 valiant?
Hello. I went to the parts store to get a new alternator for my 1969 valiant, all original with external regulator. The original is a round Back unit with one field wire and the charging post at the back as it should be (correct?) the parts store gave me a newer style with the square part at the bottom with the internal regulator. Is that ok to put on there? It does appear to have a piece screwed on over one of the terminals on the back that makes it too wide to put the wire terminal over. Is this a way to ensure you just use the one wire terminal i the right spot and this alternator is set up to use with the old system? Or is this just wrong? Any help appreciated! Tanks
