Voltage Regulator

[brimcc]

Can someone tell me if either of these relays are the voltage regulator?

okay lets back up ..waaaaaay back ...

you are looking for the voltage regulator for your car ? and its the 89 in your signature ?

if its an 89 the voltage regulator is built into the alternator and is not a box like what you are showing.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking in your question !! did you perhaps have a brain cramp when you were typing ?

They look like the relays that are normally mounted beside the VR if the car has a remote VR...The VR should have 3 wires to it. Brown, Blue and Black.
What year is the car?
A picture of the rear relay panel so the CDI box is visible may be helpful, the VR is usually mounted beside it.

Car started life as a 1969. It has been converted to look like an 87-89. Engine is an 87, therefore not sure if vr is inside alt or external.

if the engine is an 87 it will be internal ..

that relay look slike its out of the 69 .. you can always unplug it and see what doesnt work

There are 2 very simulier looking "tin" boxes relating to the voltage regulator, one is a filter capacitor and the other is the regulator.

You may have the regulator still mounted but not in use.

took alt off, vr is in there. Thanks, now I hope thats the problem.
