STA is stator. Your choice on decision to upgrade. 3G upgrade will do away with the external regulator.

Two things.... One a wiring diagram for that year will give you where those wires go by color....and get that alt charging....

If you look at the plug for the voltage regulator if will also tell you where the wires go.... The lugs on the regulator for sta and fld correspond to the lugs on the alt...

This link will help.... Upgrading to a one wire is another option.... You can either use a gm alt from the 70s to 80s or a ford 3g or an aftermarket bolt on from mean green or powermaster...
