yes #1 is the horn and #2 is the voltage regulator.
the best thing i did was get the regulator removed and bought an alternator with the regulator built in it only cost me about $100 for the new alternator and all the wiring now no probs at all with current ![]()

As I understand it, '72 was the first year for the internal regulator, but it was set up for the old style plug, a one-year only piece. I even happen to have one, if anyone needs it.

My '72 4x4 has (had) the core mounted voltage regulator, and had a non-regulated alternator as factory equipment.

Ok, but here's the kicker: I actually have one of these one-year-only alternators. It *is* internally regulated, and it *has* the old style connector. Do I just have the year wrong?

Some one installed the newer style in your rig...
Is the external reg still plugged in? If so, you need to unplug it and jump the wires like this pic shows (Photo courticy of Racedvl) |

Oddly, my longhorn has the voltage regulator there, and I dont think it was ever hooked up. I dont see any non factory wires in the area, I suspect the assembly line put them on, then some trucks used them, some did not? I am not trying to pretend to know, but my truck, which also has dual batteries, is a very original truck, but I always wondered what that box was doing there, when it clearly has not been used. Does the mystery deepen, or?....
