Second question mid build, as I mentioned on the other thread I’ve got a 2.4 L 911 engine going into my 1974 914. The 1974 9/11 would’ve originally had an external voltage regulator, I’m not familiar enough with my 911 set up to know if it also had an external regulator or if it was internal to the alternator..

Anyone able to drop some knowledge on that?

Thanks!

I think you can get a direct replacement new Valeo alternator that’s internally regulated.

Perry, thank you. Quick searches surely do look like they have a direct replacement with internal reg and not terribly expensive. Reviews on a few sites tend to indicate they're longevity is better than a rebuilt Bosch or a Paris/Rhone. It's good to know they're an option that looks economical.
