I've asked a question about the voltage regulator before, but this is a new one.
I have a 1961 Buick Special w/an external voltage regulator.
I pulled the thing out this past week to inspect if it was in-tact, cause i've not been able to get any power thru to the coil to give any kinda spark.
Inside the cover of the voltage regulator it looks like brand new with it's red wire wrapped around itself a whole bunch (yes, i made sure i didn't touch any of it).
So now I ask if the things are bad, is there a visible sign that it is bad, or do you just have to replace it and get on with it?
One more question while i'm here... what won't work on the car if the v.regulator is bad??? Looking for symptoms.
Thanks,
Mike.
