That's more the 80s Mopar alt look than 60s and 70s. It's a hair wider which depending on year and block and AC or not can be a problem to fit being tight, but easy to solve.

And actually I don't think uses an internal regulator really but a mounted on unit.

Yes its great as his battery was a little low and at first it was putting out 45 amps idling until the battery charged up some. Then it dropped to right around 10 amps idling. I load tested it at idle by loading the battery with a carbon pile and it would easily put out over 80 amps at idle. Ron

Nope its not mounted on the alt as I would know that in an instant. Ah I can surely tell if it had a reg mounted on it as I know them alt very well and am not that dumb.
And it looks very much like the 60 and 70's alt on the car. Only real difference is it does not have pressed in diodes but you cant tell that on the car without looking real close. I know the Mopar electrical system pretty well since I was a Dodge tech for 24 years and have worked with Mopar electrical systems since the 70's and believe me the reg is internal and inside the case. I have seen the ones with the external mounted regulator and did not care for them. No problem fitting it as I used the same alt stock shim on the through bolt and it fit just like the stock unit. As far as I can tell its the same size as a stock alt for where it bolts on the eng. Ron
