Help with Alternator Install
Do I still need to replace my voltage regulator with a later solid state one
Hey Vance.
Short answer is connect green wire to "A"
The "B" terminal has been cut off by the rebuilder indicating that it is internally shorted to ground. You can check with a multimeter.
Long answer...
If you have a stock charging system in your 65 than you have a single field wire voltage regulator (top photo in post #2)
It has one wire going into it from an ignition key source, and one wire going to the field of the alternator,
Back in the day you had a "round back" alternator that had only one field terminal. Those alternator cores are few and far between so rebuilders now use the 2 field wire ( isolated field for some of our members) cores and short one of the feild terminals internally. That leaves only one field terminal. This makes it functionally equivalent to the round back with 1 field terminal.
You do not need to modify anything on your car to run the alternator you show in your photos. (ASSUMING YOU HAVE THE STOCK CHARGING SYSTEM)
