Welcome! 65 and 67 use the same regulator, but someone might have swapped to the later alternator (square back)? If so, you need to run the normal field wire on the vehicle to one spade terminal on the alt, and run the other spade terminal on the alt to ground on the body or engine. Not sure this is what you need, but it's possible.

Slant on,
Lou
