alternator help

Post by skin_dog »

Does anyone know if the Lucas 14AC has a built in regulator? I tried to post a pic but photobucket is not responding right now.
If it helps there is no black box on the back of the alternator.
Cheers.

from another forum

"You can determine whether or not an alternator has internal or a separate regulator by the model designation. A 4AC, 14AC, 17AC etc. has a separate reg, whilst a 4ACR, 14ACR, 17ACR etc. has an inbuilt one - with the R standing for internal Regulator."
