I have no hands on experience with the Motorcraft internal regulator alternator,but my motors manual shows wiring for one. On the one shown as having an internal regulator,the regulator is actually external,bolted under the terminal studs on the rear case. The diagram for this unit shows only 2 wires needed,the BAT wire to the output stud,and the "supply" terminal on the regulator.The supply terminal appears to be a push on quick connector stud,with the supply wire having a 10 ohm resistor in it connected to the run side of the ignition switch. I hope this helps. This unit looks like a slick way to use a Motorcraft alternator in a conversion without the bulky external regulator and wiring. You got me curious about this unit,I will check the jobber rebuilt price of one of these "internal regulator" Motorcraft units,and see if the little solid state regulator can be adapted to a standard external regulator Motorcraft alternator.
This would end one aggrivating problem with fitting a Delco alternator to a Ford,that is having to drill the Delco case mounting hole to 7/16 to fit the Ford mounting hardware.
