Keoke's getting a bit of a reputation around here. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif Actually, I came to the voltage regulator problem through the back door. My old battery went bad and I replaced it. The new battery, within a couple of weeks, was sitting in a puddle of battery acid. "Why" I ask? New battery is not supposed to do this. And so I test the charge and it's around 17, a tad high under the best of circumstances. That's how I discover the issue with the voltage regulator. So I get a new one, but stupid me doesn't realize that my good friend Joseph Lucas uses the same number (RB340) for 4 different parts, because each has different amperage. And naturally, I get the 22 amp model because I need the 30A, and I can never figure out what to get the first time because that would have a negative impact on the economy.
I had a little chat with my old buddy Curto about it yesterday. I gotta tell you guys, the man knows his stuff. He's almost as good as Keoke. I think we should do a show, Iron Mechanic, and let them battle it out. I even volunteer my BJ8 for them to work on. All we need now is a paint guy, and my car, oops, I mean the show, will be great!
By the way Ed, I'm going down to North Cacalaca for the holidays to see my in-laws in Wilmington. Yeah, I can't wait. Yippee! Are you anywhere around there? I may need to find someplace to hide.
