After reading these articles, I'm not a fan of either option. Is there a 50+amp auto alternator that I can get at the local auto parts supply that is single wire (no internal voltage regulator)? I'd need a part number or a make/model/year. I have a Duralast 14824, but it has the round 3 pin internal voltage regulator.

I use the 14158. It is an ND alt set up for external regulation. It is rated at 45 amps and set up for CCW rotation to match our engines. Have never needed more than 45 amps in either the 6 or the 10. Both are IFR birds with pitot heat. You can buy them for $30. The last one I got from Summit. It was a unit re-manufactured by ND themselves for $70.
