    Stupid question!

    How do you know if you have an external alternator or internal ?
    Thanks!

    Do you maybe mean voltage regulator?
    External you have one wire to your alternator.
    Internal you have more than one wire on the alternator.

    actually the other way around dave....an internally regulated alternator will require only 1 wire to it as it has its own internal voltage regulator.

    If you are looking for a high amp, OEM-looking 1-wire alternator, I'd recommend one from DB Electric on Ebay. I was recommended to use one of theirs from the fullsize chevy boards and couldn't be happier. Quality alternator for a great price. They have nice starters too
