Yes, this is true; it's not like there are 30 wires /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I think of more importance than the number of wires, is the reengineering for low rpm function. Yes, a Jeeper could overdrive the alternater with pulley ratios to have it charge at lower crank rpms. But, most also have low gears and rev a bit on the road. Then, it would really be overdriven /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
That is more the coorelation with old tractors; my Farmall-A revs out at 1500rpm or so, like your Ford.
The caveat is, most tractors don't need 150A altenators /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
