The answer to your question is simply yes, however, I did see on the net a guy who rebuilds the old style contact point regulator. Basicaly he guts them out and installs electronics in place of the points (still trying to find the web address) You can do a conversion which also includes replacing the alternator. I have included a link (above) that explains how to do this. I did it to my 65 Polara, works great.
