Ant it so funny that so many of these well over 50 year old cars still run just fine with 37 amp Alternator, I guess electricity hasn’t kept up with the times in terms of the need to brag about and to have excess!

Over the years I have replaced far more internally regulated Alts then external, and when the external systems had problems 90% of the time it was the regulator on the firewall that had the problem.

If your car ever over heats badly you can count on very shortly having the internal regulator portion of the Alt going south on you.
