Yeah a 6V generator is a 6V generator pretty much. As long as the generator current rating is higher than that of the regulator, and the field wiring is the same, it doesn't matter much. Pulley size...

For field wiring, most generators power the field from the armature and ground it through the regulator. Some (apparently mostly Fords) get power from the field from the regulator and ground the other side internally.

Though if you have a 3rd brush generator those work a bit differently.
