[QUOTE=
when you put the new reg in did you make sure you sort of wiggled it in and didnt break the brushes?[/QUOTE]

I was careful putting it in, I kinda stuck the brushes in first and wiggled it around until the mounting holes lined up.

This is all great advice. I won't be able to check anyting until after work, around 330 EST.

When I do get home should I drive it or just check the voltage after it starts?
