Alt replacement
Here's the deal. If you do nothing else get the later model known "slang" as a "squareback" because they are a better design. The one on the right:
You want to 'ask' for about a 73 model year, engine does not matter. If they list by amperage, 46 amp is good.
This unit will bolt right up. You can ground one of the two field terminals and hook it right up to your old regulator.
"Older" regulators
The old original 60---69 regulator were MECHANICAL. This is the tall rectangular box. Most if not all REPLACEMENT regulators you buy nowadays are actually an electronic "guts" in the same old box. As long as you get a quality brand unit, "these are fine."
