If it is an internally regulated alternator, it needs to be replaced (if the regulator part cannot be serviced separately) before some wiring gets cooked.
The alternator has one wire. Would this be an indication if it is internally regulated?

Would anyone have a picture of the remote type regulator on a Superformance and/or know the approximate location to find it?

I found the associated diode in the fuse block.
