  1. so i have put in a new alternator, new battery, new battery cables and purchased a new voltage regulator, after it was installed it seem fine until the vehicle is started at which point it begins to smoke. I put the old one back on and it works fine. is there a way to test them to see if the old one has already burt out what the new one seems to be working on burnin out. Or could they have given me the wrong one. The connectors are all the same just the internal look a little different but i thought maybe that would be just upadted.

    I don't know what the first picture is. Doesn't look factory. Looks like a voltage regulator but your stock one is going to be over by the battery and has a circular connector. As for the motor, I'd wager it's an EA71. It should be stamped on the block, iirc either in the front or near the heads. May have to take the manifold off to see it.

    yeah the voltage reg is on the other side. looks like a relay of some sort and seems to have no use since the engine runs and everything seems to work

  3. i purchased a 79 Brat about a month ago and im a little confused on the healights. It has the two headlight grill and they work on low beam but not high beam. What is strange is that there is four headlight plugs but only two healights. are these the wrong headlights. the grill seems stock since it matches the the headlight cutout in the body below it and the four headlight design is stright across.
