On Beetles with an alternator...and external voltage regulator...would the voltage regulator be located under the rear seat, as is normal with a generator equipped car?

I have a 1974 Std Beetle, but the PO appears to have mix and matched parts from other years to build this car.

I believe that mine has an internal regulator and want to be sure since I plan on ordering another alternator before I install another long block.

Thanks,
John
