You have to watch the Ford units: the early ones had positive ground,
many of the later ones had external voltage regulator. I just prefer the
Delco units for ease of install for odd ball applications.

I have not ever seen a positive ground alternator; at least in automotive
applications. [Telco, however....]

Given the near-infinite supply of Delco units, I agree it's easy to
find one. But there's no reason to discard a good Ford unit with
regulator.....

I gave a friend a 150A/28VDC unit many years ago; it would be easy to
regulate it to 14V and would have made a kick-ass car-starter.
