your voltage regulator is inside the alternator but replaceable from the exterior. a new one should be mounted on a brush holder and is a straight bolt in item. $15. a rebuilt alt. for $89 sounds like the begining of a bad, long relationship to me. there are some truly horrible rebuilt items out there and you are better off having your alt rebuilt. cost about $50, including a new brush/regulator! now *is* the time to have the work done as preventative maintenance. -dan
