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.

Bob Helt
