I bought one of these and it's been flawless since.

I kept the old one, as it still worked. Figured the OEM one should be rebuilt and kept on hand.... so one day, I will.

If my replacement internal reg also fails, I will probably go back to the janky external regulator set up I had.

I would probably consider it if my OEM Alt failed. However, it still works fine. I actually just went out there and unhooked the blue (j2 switched power) wire and tested it. No charge...good. I then hooked a jumper wire from that same field terminal on the Alt directly to the battery, thinking that there was too much resistance due to a faulty ignition switch. When I started the engine I touched the wire to the positive post and the alt begins charging to 17-18V and holds.

The alternator is even wired with #2 wire fused and grounded directly to the battery.

They are not cheap, usually in the 10-15 dollar range per pair, but worth every penny once you start using them. I wear them year round now.
