You can't tell if you need to re-clock until you compare the back of your 143A unit with the existing alternator & brackets. The new alternator doesn't need to have the terminals in the exact same location, they can be slightly different; as long as no brackets or pipes interfere with the wiring, AND the wiring is long enough to connect. Don't forget to replace the tiny stock B+ wires with larger cable similar to what is shown in my photos.

Hrm. I put a 143 on my m103 a few years ago. I forgot how expensive 0 gauge wire is! $4/foot! Or I could get Copper Clad Aluminum..at $1.90/foot. DECISIONS!
