Has anybody updated their alternator with internal regulator?
Thanks in advance Joe

I use an AC Delco CS-130 alternator in my Bav. Bolts right in, 105 amps, inexpensive, etc. Info here:

Nice! 85a just seems so sub par. I used a 160a dodge durango alternator in my Jeep. Overkill but it fit with some persuasion.
stock is like 45a so 85a powers my driving lights and a/c simultaneously no prob.
yes, bought an 85amp internally regulated one from BNR on eBay. It's been great for 4 years but just replaced it with another before driving to the Vintage, will keep the old one as a spare. Fits perfectly as it is rebuilt oem model. Run a D+ wire from new alternator to the D+ wire in the harness to the regulator. Tape off the other wires and keep the regulator in for orginality if desired.
Alphasonic amp, classicYeah but I have an impressive custom stereo system installed by the previous owner
The market seems thin on AL49X/AL43X and so on.I got an int regulated alt from an E12. Required a smaller bolt, but no biggie.
Indeed. We have a local shop that rebuilds automotive electrical parts, but they usually take a few weeks for turnaround. Those services are $200-$300 on average and requires trips to/from etc.Rebuilding is also an option which I recently had done.
