I'm planning on replacing the stock alternator in my '68 Satellite with a powermaster pn175191, and modifying the charging system wiring as seen here: http://home.roadrunner.com/~raffica/electrical.htmSeems pretty straightforward, but my question concerns the alernator. While it looks like the it should just bolt right in, I noticed in the specs that it's internally regulated. I assume that means I can't just wire it up to the stock harness? Do I need to bypass the stock regulator? and if so... How? Thanks in advance!

the internal regulator on pn175191 is fairly non thruth. They are MOUNTED ON regulators where they are not switched on from ign switch, really from stator signa ( that's what makes them posible to be ONE WIRE ), but brushes actually wired the same than stock, so you can live with it or remove and wire it like stock lates units

I never have seen personally those, but by pics and allways show this kind of reg mounted on chassis: thats what makes them to work like being ONE WIRE

My Powermaster 120amp was a single wire. I ran an 8gauge wire from the pole of the alternator to the battery. Took 1400rpm to actually turn it on similar to a GM alternator. The only thing to watch out for is the back post where the 8 gauge cable fits on. I would stomp on it from a red light and the belt would clench causing the alternator to flex and ground out on my cylinder head. Removing the three housing studs and rotating the assembly 90 degrees solved it.
I dont have the car anymore. I run a Delco Remy on my 440. Two wires. Cheaper too
