Same thoughts here Johnny, remember the days if you had a 55amp Bosch alternator on the ol Kingswood you were doing great, You,d throw a spare regulator complete with brush holder, and if it needed replacing,2 phillips head screws and 2 minutes later all done, I guess when you look at it nothing was heated such as seats, steering wheel, etc, etc.
