Well, after taking out the alternator I decided that I would proceed with removing the old worn voltage regulator and install the new one. This is where the fun starts. First, the screw that conencts te thing to the body of the alt broke. Then after drilling a new hole, I snappen one of the sides off the reglator that holds the thing to the alternator. Wanna know where the pennys come in? Well, after thinking that I just pissed away 40 bucks for the regualtor and probably like 100 for a new alternator, since the thing was messed up from the broken off screw, I decided that I would MAKE IT WORK :) So I used 3 pennys overlapping to hold on side of the thing down, and to make the ground for the thing, then drilled holes in the to put the screw through... then amazing.. one shitty ass mounting job of a voltage regualtor :)
