Ron,
Thanks. I think that's definitely a good strategy. However, I first have to
figure out what the PO did. This regulator setup does not match the manual,
so I assume there was an upgrade of some kind made in the past. Instead of
the 4 screw terminals mentioned in the manual, this regulator has a
six-blade connector. It says Borg Warner on the cover. Hopefully my "one
dollar" fix won't bite me before I get home tomorrow night.
Chris
