1956 Power Master Alternator feedback

I was thinking about installing this alternator on my friend's 1956 Thunderbird. I like the fact that it looks just like an original generator, and it is lighter, but before I install it, I was wondering if anyone else has ever used it.

I put one in my 57. Works great. Looks like the stock generator without needing a regulator. No issues.

Thanks, I'm going to install it over the winter.

I don't have one but pretty much decided that should I ever need to upgrade from my generator or if it needs repair I would go to one of those. Wish the price was less but I like that I won't have to finagle brackets to put on a GM alternator and it will still look stock. Everything I've read about them is good.
