hey, thanks for the feedback... I am still waiting on a new voltage regulator, in the meantime.. I blew that fuse (red top between fire walls) last night. I was lucky, while driving the radio kinda fizzled off and the lights got very dim. able to pull over to a lot where she died. i touched the red fuse that fell apart in my hand, with a back up i made it home. i did notice that the dash, heads, etc. lights were all much brighter with a new fuse but still i've the voltage bouncing and waiting on the new voltage regulator...
