Is it an internally-regulated alternator? Most are I think these days. When I replaced the alternator in my 410 (probably 13/14 years ago) it was harder to find an alternator without a built-in regulator. The correct one was found in the end, I don't recall from where I'm afraid.

It won't be internally regulated if it has one, let alone two, field coil connections.

I do just happen to have a correct pattern, rewound, alternator if anybody really needs one, as my car now carries a high output self regulated alternator.
