How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, after replacing the alt and batt, I was back charging again. Only now instead of 10.5v, I was seeing 15.5! I found a nice solid-state piece, a Wells VR715, that mimics the style of the original, but uses a circuit board instead of mechanical points--functions more like a modern alternator/regulator by shunting to ground instead of cycling on/off constantly.

Check out this piece of history I removed from the Blazer. Ah, the good old days when Sears was a trusted manufacturer of seemingly everything, instead of just another retailer...

Made in Korea, but looks right at home on the core support. Would this be considered 'ruining' it?

Check out those chalk marks!
