Got a new Truck (new to me)
Yes, I think the mopar square back with the 2 terminals and + batt post would be a good choice. Everything I have been hearing and experiencing is that the external parts store voltage regulators are crap (china).
One of the members here is saying he is using Transpo (American Made) adjustable voltage regulators with good success.
Ironically it was Transpo that made the 1 wire conversion kit for the Motocraft Alternator that I used.
(ATP F7078 Ford 1 wire conversion, by Advance Truck Parts.) 60 amp max alternator. Did not have to adjust it, it was spot on right out of the box.
Was so nice to install it as directed and it worked as it said it would. Was a simple kit that you did not have to open up the Alternator to put it in.
The mopar HEI conversion and full 12 volt E-Coil is a nice way to go. (No ballast resistor).
You can install the heat sink adapter on the bottom of a standard mopar electronic distributor for a more stock look. Or you can mount the HEI module up on the firewall, giving more room at the base of the mopar distributor to get to the lock down clamp to adjust the timing.
The HEI is basically the "Trigger" for the ignition. The real magic comes from the hotter spark E-coil that make it work so nice, and they run cool at full 12 volts besides.
(application '95 F150)
Nice simple 2 post spade hookup. Rock Auto, very inexpensive, yet works Supreme.
