Ok guys, I feel really stupid asking this, and I’m scared to find out the answer. I’m 99% sure that this isn’t supposed to be like this and I’ve broken something, so I’m going to ask because I don’t even know where to start on the fix. (I’m also 15 and attempting to learn about cars through...

Voltage regulator bit the dust on the 80, so we pulled the alternator. it was only held in place by the pivot bolt and years of grease and dirt. ive got part numbers but no specs, and since this is a DD, kinda need to not wait on the local Toyota dealer for 5 days to get them. Any one know what...
