The correct regulator is a 3-unit regulator.  12V voltage reg, 10Amp current reg, and cut-out relay.  10Amps refers to the current limitation.  No cars that I know of have only 10A systems.  Harley Davidson also used them, but they are as hard to find as OMC.

I’m not smart enough to know, but I think the suggested unit is for a combo starter/generator that serves to start the engine and generate electricity once running.  I’ve seen a few back in “The Day” on small engines, like on Kohler gas-engine golf carts.  Too many years, to many tears ago.
