Volt Regulator for Prestolite generator

1962 283 Owens Flagship, has a Prestolite generator GJU-7283, but the VR is missing. Someone can help me in finding the right one?
 
may be easier/faster to just replace the generator with an alternator...
not so easy, need to find a counterclock rotation one, then modify the front motor stand to align the two pullies... generator works good, just the right regulator needed and then is to turn the key

ok finally I found the right one, just testing if the generator is externally or internally grounded.
 
good for you...alternator does NOT care which direction it is spun.

I looked up that number in the old prestolite catalog I have and nothing...so it is likely original...

good luck!
 
Do yourself a favor…… Replace the generator with an alternator.
As Mark said...... The alternator will produce a charge rate regardless of its rotational direction.
