Looks like melted plastic!!
Probably needs more than 'wipe gently with a non abrasive cloth'

Wow that was quick delivery on the replacement if its not putting out 14.7v you could fit the uprated regulator to the new one and all will be right in the world

That's quite a coating of dried oil and road dirt
The alternator would clean up no problem, new bearing and regulator and it would be as good as new

True enough, but that gets a bit harder to do.

I hate it too, but i also hate throwing days at a project, put at all back together to find it goes pop before you're off the drive.. I've got my old alternator still, i can do something like that when I'm bored and nothing better to fix lol

I had a side line repairing and testing alternators, do the bearings, regulator, diode pack and if needed the slip rings and you would have to be unlucky to get a failure, only the windings are left and they rarely fail. Most often all that was needed was brushes although I would change the pully end bearing for safety.

The fact buick sold the engine within a few years of its design because they decided back then it was crap, speaks volumesIt was built by Land Rover so don't bet on it
