Voltage regulator

[Stephen717]

Ok so I finally got my stimulus money, and I'm spending it getting the bare essentials to get my truck back on the road after almost 4 years of owning it. So far I've ordered the carburetor air filter (and a new shift boot for the floor shifter), I'm getting tie rod ends, adjusting sleeves, brake shoes, parking cables, the rest of the brake line to hook up the rear brakes, master cylinder and power brake booster, proportioning valve, and if I can squeeze it in maybe a chrome valve cover and side covers for the 250. But while disassembling the rusted old front clip to move the engine to the 72 frame I noticed that the voltage regulator on the road support wasn't hooked up (I guess the entire time I've owned it) and I'm wondering if I need to hook it back up when I hook up everything when the truck is painted and sitting on the new frame. Any help as always is greatly appreciated. Thanks
