I don't think his alternator is internally regulated. They didn't come out until 74 in most cases. What the factory did do and it fooled me for a long time, is that they came out with a SI style case but the terminals were like this I I instead of like the real internally regulated SIs which are like this. - - . 71 was the first year of that style I believe.
