On most 10SI and 12SI alternators there is a resistor that runs between
two of the screws that hold the regulator in. Now I have Bob Helt's
diagram here and I can not figure out which resistor it is. Maybe R2 or
R3. Anyway it is the first one to come out when pulling the regulator.
Yes, it's R5. (funny that you would ask VVand not the author). It's there
to draw enough current so as to light the bulb as I remember. It really makes
no difference as far as a Corvair goes. Leave it in or remove it.
