Ya, it's a regulator problem. The alternator will put out a substantial amount of voltage, then the regulator steps it down to around 14 volts. The regulator is an internal one on this alternator. You should probably be able to get it seperate, but I'm kinda in agreeance with Ed here. You'd probably be better off just getting a rebuilt alternator. Just make sure that if you do go with a rebuilt unit, that it has been thoroughly taken apart and rebuilt with all around new parts. A lot of places sell rebuilt ones that only replace what went bad, ie brushes, regulator, etc. You'll want to make sure that it's got a new regulator, brushes, bearings.
