Isaac,
I think I have discovered the answer to that question. It appears that
there are two different alternators that were used in the Fiesta. These
are: The Bosch which is internally regulated, and the Motorcraft one
that requires an external regulator. Both work, but the Bosch is easier
to wire up.
