I need to replace the Alternator on my 1964 Avanti R1.  Should I have it rebuilt or can I get a new alternator with the the regulator in the alternator?  If so how do I rewire?

One alternative has been written up and posted on the website studebaker-info.org.  Note that the original Prestolite Avanti alternator puts out (when new) 40 amps, not 45 as stated in the article.

This one also is internally regulated, so the original Avanti regulator can be bypassed or removed.
