Ok, so I have the motor in (thanks to help from Mike (LOLA) and some misc. parts from Russ, and some nice slider windows in that I got from GoBusGo.....

The motor is running good (aside from not having the tools or the timing scale to time it with) but I did notice on a short trip out the other day that I am missing one piece to be able to really get around.... For some reason the yahoo I bought this bus from must have "misplaced" the voltage regulator, because it wasnt there now and I did wonder what the 3 wire connector coming from the alternator went to. well, now I do, and I dont have one. so does anyone have one I can buy? I would like to be able to bring the bus to the cruise-in on the 10th but I will need this part to be able to make the run!

I could also use a decent used timing scale to time my motor with since my metal one is illegible from age.


so close now.......

ok I got my new voltage regulator today, hooked it up, and this is what I got.

ignition on.... battery light on
motor running.... light still on
rev the motor up...light gets brighter???


any ideas as to why it is doing this?
