Is it an internal regulated alternator? Says 75A on it. Anyone with a wiring diagram for it? For my autox car and trying to keep wiring simple.

Yes, internally regulated.

I think this is what you want:

Here is every generation ford alt:

Might want to consider a 3g as 2gs are kinda known for starting fires. Something with the connector/charge wires being too low gauge. I don't suspect you will be maxing out a 2g so it should be fine.

If you want stupid simple wiring, go for an older GM style alt or "1 wire" but a properly installed 3g is superior.

yeah I know, but I have this one laying around and it is perfectly fine. Came off my 88 which got a 170A 3g one wire put on it. Also needed MAJOR grinding to the bracket to get it to go in. This car doesnt need any major amps so this should be satisfactory. The 40A alt off an 86 is on the engine right now and I dont want to have to wire the ext regulator.
