Can you? Yes you can. You may have to get a different fan shroud because the alternators are different depths over the years. Also, you will have to obtain an external voltage regulator and wire that up.

Should you do any of that? No. You should buy a modern Bosch replacement alternator from Pelican, with an internal voltage regulator, install it and forget about it.

Search here under "early_s_man" and "alternator." Warren has posted the factory technical brochure that describes the changeover to an internally regulated alternator in 1982.
