Can I just use a stock coil with the use of an alternator? ie: I don't need one with a ballast resistor ar anything do I?

No worriss - alternator has nothing to do with ignition, really...

sweet. thanks!

Oh, and do all alternators have an internal regulator?

no

there is an external type (1974 ish) and internal type (1975+)

The external type has a small 3 pin plug on the top and the reg lives under the back seat.

the internal type has a single small post on the top



the picture is an external type

So is this an external one then? If it is, do I just run the same regulator as I was running with the generator?

Yep

That is an external reg one

if you look at the picture i posted the thing next to it is the regulator that went with it.
So, i am guessing it is different to your genny regulator.

Sorry - i have sold it so i cant tell you what it was.

This is the external regulator from my altenator

You can find those Bosch external reg on heeeeeeaps of Old Holdens at Pick 'n' Go
