The early ones used an external regulator. Some replacements were 1 wire. Like Root says take it to the local parts store & match it up.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Are you dealing with a one wire self exciting alternator or just a straight up plane jane 10si Delco with the two wire plug in and one wire to the pos. terminal?
