I am in the process of installing a new motor in my Vette and I am including a new 100 amp alternator. The guy helping me says I purchased the wrong type of alternator.

I have a '69 427 Vette with to the best of my knowledge stock wiring. Do ( or should ) I have a voltage regulator internal to the alternator or is it exterior to the alternator and if so, where is it located in the engine compartment?

Thanks in advance,

Glenn

A '69 should have a voltage regulator integral to the alternator. It's the first year Chevy did that...the '68 Vette had the external regulator mounted on the left inner fenderwell.
