For the regulator I took a modern solid state high capacity regulator, and on EBay bought an old points type regulator with a repro Autolite cover. I took the Autolite cover off the old style regulator and put it on the solid state regulator. Just an idea that I thought may help you. Good luck.

The early Alternators, the later ones may be as well, use the same case and there are several companies that offer higher amperage internals to boost the output. If you want the correct date code, which it sounds as if you do, I would go for the same upgrade. I don't recall exactly, although I have rebuilt hundreds...I think the diode plate has more diodes. But that was 20+ years ago, and I've slept since then...maybe once.
