I'm sorting out some charging issues with my car. It's a 72T into which the PO retrofitted a 73.5 CIS (presumably when the original blew up.) Needless to say, I get suprised every once in a while.
My Alternator is a red-plate S.E.V. Motorola. I've red a few threads concerning "matching up" your alternator and voltage regulator. So, after my local alternator shop gave my alternator the thumbs up, my attention turned down the line to my VR, and here it is.
I'm puzzled only because none of the Voltage Regulators in my haynes or any of Wayne's books look like this guy. Also I'm concerned because it has only two terminals, FLD, and IGN. the brown (D-) ground wire was attached to the case of the unit. Blue (D+61) came from the Alt. to "FLD", and black to "IGN"
What is it? Should I keep using it? Or should I get what (assuming this is wrong) is supposed to be there?
Thanks
