There's a service bulletin -- someone here will have it.  I should but I
don't.  For the '83-84 and maybe earlier, if the regulator fries you're
supposed to add a diode in series with one of the pins when you replace
it.  I presume it's the supply pin but don't know for sure.  I also presume
the diode is a 4001 or similar.
