460 Alternator
 
I am rebuilding a Classic Roadster Shelby Cobra AC kit car from the mid 90's. The car was only ran for 75 miles then damaged and stored away. I am going through it from bumper to bumper. It has a built up 460 that the block came out of a 70 Lincoln. The alternator is shot and I noticed it was a old style with the regulator on the fire wall. Should I replace it with the same or is there a better one that is a direct bolt up and has an internal regulator that is a simpler install? I appreciate any info.

There are much better units out there. -- I personally like the 1996 460 Gen III alt. - with the 95A case. (129MM case) -- go see someone at an alternator shop, they can build you a good unit. --

HP,

Can't find an exact replacement with a quick search. Maybe one of these will help point you in a good direction:

What look are you going for, classic or modern? Mine is built in, but it's a chrome cased unit.
