Voltage regulator location? Need a new alternator?
You all type faster then me:)
Ok first a bunch of questions..
As for the voltage regulator. Depending on car it is located on the firewall by the master cylinder, (black can with two wires) this is the old style electro-mechanical single field wire type
Later models had an electronic VR it's mounting location I'm not familiar with. It has 2 field wires.
The alternator you have is commonly refered to as a "square back" it is a later model.
It seems to be internally wired for a single field wire.
Electro-mechanical voltage regulator
Electronic voltage regulator
Round back alternator
Square back alternator
