Delco's 10DN case used on all Corvairs 1965-9 has the same dimensions as 
Delco's 10SI and 12SI cases   10DN require external regulators and the 
10SI and 12SI are internal regulated.  The rear support bracket for the 
10DN has to be reshaped (bent) to fit the rear of the SI cases.

12SI- 94 amps - 1984  Hi-Po Camaro 5.0L (305G engine), 94 amp alternator.
