Inside the rear of the alternator
It's inside the alternator.
Might fit, but will not work. The difference is the 79 uses an external voltage regulator the 91 has an inenal voltage regulator
The 1979 Porsche 911 is equipped with an external voltage regulator. This component is typically mounted on the generator or alternator and is responsible for maintaining a consistent voltage output to the electrical system. The external setup was common in many vehicles of that era before the shift to internal regulators in later models.
Inside the alternator. It's a small, solid-state device that is integral to the alternator.
In the carburetor.
If your currently running a external regulator all you need to do to move to a internal regulated alternator is finding a alternator that will fit your application that comes internally regulated. I dont know of any that work for your vehicle though sorry
The voltage regulator may smoke after replacing the alternator on a 1979 Lincoln Continental due to a short circuit or incorrect wiring connections made during the installation process. If the alternator is faulty or if there is an issue with the wiring harness, it can send excessive voltage to the regulator, causing it to overheat. Additionally, a malfunctioning regulator might not properly manage the voltage output, leading to damage. Ensuring all connections are secure and components are functioning correctly is crucial to prevent this issue.
That year did not have a fuel pressure regulator. There is no need for one with a carburetor unless you have a electric fuel pump.
that's definatly your voltage regulator i had the same problem on mine
The blower relay for the 1979 Cadillac is under the driver side of the dash. It is a plug in type and fits into the fuse box.
The same thing happened to me in my 1984 Mercury (I know, not the same), But it turned out to be the voltage regulator. Some older alternaters dont have internal voltage regulators.
yes
