VR: Is this right for a '76?

I still haven't gotten around to getting a suitable replacement for my crapola regulator... Will this do the job?

Have you checked to see if the part is still available through your local dealer? It might be cheaper than buying that one and having it shipped.

A voltage regulator should be easy to find at any normal parts house, as well. I wouldn't buy something like that off eBay unless I was absolutely certain that it was the right one. And since the seller doesn't seem to know for certain, there's no way for you to know either.

Ahh... right-o then, thanks for that bit of advice. :knockedou
