I did a google search for "Ford 2G rectifier" and this is one of many that came up.

Just buy a 3g alternator and get rid of the 2g alternator fire risk.

I would recommend starting with the Voltage Regulator (VR) first, it could be that the brushes are just worn. If you remove the 4 corner screws, you can remove it and check the brushes. There is a hole in which you insert a stiff wire, which will hold the brushes back for installation. You can change the brushes and reuse the VR.
Check to see if you have 3 wires on the VR plug. If you do end up changing out the VR you will need a new plug with all three wires, if you currently have only 2 wires like the one shown in the photo in post 1. The new VR will require all 3 inputs.

The Alternator Rectifier Bridge is very hard to change out as there are 3 heavy gauge copper wires that are soldered on the 3 attach posts. If you have to replace this it doesn't matter which copper wire goes where as all 3 of the inputs are all the same.

Good luck, Jim
