When I bought my Standard Coupe a year ago it came with an alternator. Tom had sold me the VR for a long generator I had and I installed it no problem. I removed the alternator, put in the long gen with the VR built in and now have the alternator stored. I like the looks of the stock unit and get the benefit of Tom's voltage regulator, so no adjusting the third brush.
If Tom is going to rebuild your generator, have him install the VR and you'll be all set.
