Hi:
Have '81 245 that needs alternator swap.........seems it has been causing vibration due to perhaps bad bearings.

I seem to have understood in the past that if original alternator has external voltage regulator, a new alternator with internal regulator (part of brush assembly) may be directly substituted by just unplugging old cable and tying it back out of the way.

Am I remembering this correctly???

Thanks, Dennis
