The voltage regulator for the alternator is in the computer. If the voltage regulator in the computer does not work, you can add an external voltage regulator and then your battery will charge normally. Make sure to check the ground on the computer. If the ground is bad on the computer, then the computer will not regulate the voltage to the alternator properly.

Can an alternator that has a built in voltage regulator show good when the regulator is bad?

If the regulator is bad, the alternator would have a low charge or a high charge or no charge at all. With a good battery that is fully charged (12.68 volts) and the engine warmed up and idling with no accessories on, you should get a voltage reading at the battery of 14.2 v (plus or minus .2 v).
