They probably looked it up right.

I bet what happened is the guy making $3/hr at the rebuilding factory, wasn't sure which box it went in, so you got the wrong one.

Even if you could make that one work, you wouldn't want to. The early single lead ones didnt have much in the way of output.

In any case, if you ask for one for a newer application you can get up to 78 amps in that same case.

Specify something like an early 80's dodge van with a 318, and a single groove pully alt.

I usually deal with the old timers who can rebuild what you have. There's not many around nowadays. The other thing I've done was to use- dare I say- AC Delco rebuilds. You can usually get them at any independent store. They are very premium and built well. And I would ask for a later square back like dave571 said.
