Is the moral of this - "Don't talk about a part or it will rebel on you?"

The other day, I posted my rebuilt MGB alternator for sale.  Yesterday, my
generator quit.

I do want to install a single wire alternator.  It seems to me that there
were some Digest postings a while ago re. which GM model to use, and how to
install.  At this point, I'm less concerned about which model (Although that
would help.) than which of two existing wires to use for the "one wire"
hookup.  The generator, which has the standard voltage regulator, has 2
wires - the output, and the field.  I assume the alternators have built-in
regulators, or do they?  If yes, how bypass the connections to the v.r.?

Quick responses will be appreciated as I need to use the B for another ride
to Manhattan & New Jersey later this week.
