Hi all. I need some help. Cuda is approaching fire up time, but I am trying to figure out the alternator. The one the car came with has a 4 by 1 1/2 inch ( or so) rectangular grate on the back with six squares. It has a large stud for the battery wire and a male field prong. It has another field prong spot but it seems to be blocked off with some sort of little plate screwed to it to , I assume, make it unusable. I suspect that this is the late ( post 1970 if I remember correctly) alternator. If so is it internally regulated and doesn't need a voltage regulator elsewhere.? There was a mechanical regulator on the fire wall but I think it was not hooked up. The previous owner had crossed the 340 over to electronic ignition.I am going to use electronic ignition as well, except I bought an all new kit from Rick Ehrenberg for it.
Thanks
Neal
