    Voltage regulator questions.

    I recently pulled out my voltage regulator on my 77 cruiser to check if it is working properly, but when I look at the FSM I am confused. There are 2 styles in my book and my regulator has parts of both. What is correct for April of 77?? Is this even an oem regulator? Thanks for any help.

    What are these rims?

    When I received my 77 it had these rims. I can’t tell if they are late oem, aftermarket, or con-fer? Funny enough they say “THIS WHEEL WILL NOT FIT TOYOTA “. Lol. Just trying to ID them. Thanks everyone.
