in the alternator
inside alternator
It is built into the alternator
My 1982 Volvo 244GL had a voltage regulator in the back of the alternator so I assume your 1984 is the same
It's inline at the carburetor.
i have changed the alternator and voltage regulator and it still wont charge ; 84 Plymouth reliant
If its not built into the alternator look for a shiny chrome box about the size of a deck of cards on the firewall near the center in the engine compartment
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I assume it would be the same as my 1982 Volvo 244GL . There are ( 2 ) small bolts/screws that hold it on the back of the alternator . I changed mine twice in the 12 years I had the car . Take the two screws out , tip the voltage regulator up as you remove it , installation is the reverse
OK, you have a 1982 Chevy Celebrity. Do you have a question?
Answer CHECK AUTO VOLT REGULATOR OUTPUT.WITH ENGINE OFF CONNECT DC VOLTMETER ACROSS BATTERY POSTS. METER SHOULD READ ABOUT 12.5 VOLTS. START ENGINE: VOLTAGE READING SHOULD INCREASE TO 14 OR SLIGHTLY MORE VOLTS., Unless the problem is the generator or alternator, in which case the same symptoms will appear. Nice try, but no cigar.That is not entirely correct, you would be correct if reading the charging system voltage on a 12v system.On my 4wheel 350 bruin it is around 10v and the xl250 1982 is around 8v, to check the generator/stator you need to read AC voltage and after regulator you need to check DC voltage, most people use the headlight check to see if the regulator is working fine, imo get the manual for the correct reading/maintenance procedures or elaborate on the question with the model and year of the vehicle in question.
Follow the upper radiator hose right to the thermostat housing and the thermostat is inside the housing
i had a 1982 Chevy caprice classic that had a 4.4 small V8 olsmoblie engine in it.
That vehicle has a mechanical fuel pump and a carburetor. The fuel pump has a built in regulator and is not serviceable.
