I am not sure if you can use a "generator" voltage regulator
with an alternator. I am inclined to doubt it. I will see what I can
find out about it. Another alternative (pun intended) is to build your
own voltage regulator. I remember seeing a schematic in
Radio-Electronics magazine - I will see if I can dig it out.

Would the stock Healey regulator work with a positive-ground alternator
(certainly no semiconductors to worry about ;) ?
