Alternator interchange question???

I have a 1973 911e that has a bad alternator! I found an alternator that fits a 1984-1989. Will this interchange?? I understand I will have to do some rewiring and this one has an internal regulator.
thanks for your help!!

Our '86 does have an internal VR.

But, over and above that, you may have a pulley/size/alignment, and mounting/ issue(s).

Just have yours re-built by a competent shop, or do an exchange by a competent source.

By the way, there is a distinction between re-furbish, and re-build.

Good luck,

Gerry

I believe one thing you'll find is the depth of the alternators is different. So the fan belt spacing will be wrong.

Do what Gerry said.
