Need some electrical help with my ‘68 Plymouth Valiant 100

Does it matter if I get an electro mechanical one or an electrical one? Does the electrical one work just fine
The electronic versions of the electro mechanical should work just fine.

Electro mechanicals have 2 to 3 wire wound resister underneath them.

The electronic versions typically do not.


BUT... be careful when asking for an electronic vs electro mechanical.

In 69 or 70 the electro mechanical and it's associated alternator was replaced with a different alternator and an electronic VR that are NOT interchangable with the earlier ones.

The red arrow points to the fusable link OldManMopar was talking about

Green arrow points to something not stock and worth looking at. Might be a wire replacement by a previous owner.

Btw your engine compartment looks like most of ours. It looks to be in good shape
