If stock it is mechanical -- just a heater wire wound over a bimetal strip -- so won't care.

A 56 Clipper regulator should work but I would try yours first. It may be the kind that doesn't care that much. After you repolarize the generator if the charging doesn't seem right then look to the regulator. NOS 56 may be expensive if the vendors even have any. Good used may not be as cost effective or as reliable a choice as an aftermarket replacement.

what about the voltage regulator for the dash gauges? if I go with negative ground I can use the same solid state one I put on my Dart when I rebuilt it.

voltage regulator is stock 55, so positive ground...but wouldn't a 56 regulator work?
