Yes, it is a 90A alternator with an internal regulator.  Would you
recommend
replacing it with a different alternator?  If so, what alternator /
regulator
is being used by most builders out there?

Yes if you want to be strictly safe in this regard. Any alternator without
a built in regulator should work. They come in all sizes. I suspect something
out of a Honda would be good. As far as what everybody else is using...???

I would suggest that before you get rid of that excellent alternator that
you get Bob Nuckolls book (hes on the web somewhere) on aircraft wiring,
and especially review the ones about the all electric FI dual bat backup
with "crow bar overvoltage" protection. NO need to discard that alternator.
