The voltage reg is to simply maintain a constant voltage level through the charging system..the fuses under my steering colum are from top to bottom, left then right: hazard/air con 15A, park lights 10A, siggy lighter/clock, Horn/stop 15A, defog 15A, wiper washer 10A, air con fan/radio 20A, Meter/turn 10A, voltage regulator 10A, engine 10A. My question is does anyone know the trouble with swapping out the old original 12a with a series 5 engine and g/box? Staying n/a for now but ive been told the old alt the car had was external volt reg..how hard is it to slam a internal reg altenator in its place? Courious as im doing a swap and this may be the challenge..

There are many alternators on the market that only require the single live all the time power wire everything else is done internally . Delco alternators are very nice to work on and are quite robust . you will just need to find something that will line up proper with sufficient output to keep things charged well .. Someone can probably give you a few options .
