A good friend of mine upgraded his alt. from an ext. regulator to an internal one. I belive there is only one connection you leave out (blue wire?) and you can leave the old regulator alone. The newer alternators should be an exact fit but I can't say for sure(it worked for him)

You can also get your old alt. rebuilt. Post where you're at and I'm sure someone can recommend a place near you.
