RUN- - - -do not walk away from that style of alternator. When they were brand new in 1965 they were junk, and time hasn't made them any better. The external regulators give a truckload of problems and you need an idiot light or at least a 100 ohm resistor in the circuit to energize the alternator field circuit. Get a 10-SI type alternator with an internal regulator and a simple 2-wire exciter harness to make it work properly. I'm about 40 miles from Estill Springs- - - -get the right alternator and I'll be glad to help you wire it up.

Thanks Jerry. I'm assuming I will need to rewire from what I currently have with the 10-SI alternator? I'm also assuming that I will no longer be using the ammeter. I may need my hand held on how to do all of this. Looking at all the 10-SI alternators on Amazon, I'm not even sure which one of those to buy.
