Thanks Vikki, if it has the side by side on top of the alternator case is in internally regulated? If so I won't pick up the regulator tomorrow, still have to figure out these wires that go no where, no rush now that I know I will be pulling the engine sooner rather than later.

As for the replacement engine, I'll have to get the specs, I know it is out of a '73 Grand Am, switched out to flat top pistons, balanced, slightly shaved heads, hardened valve seats, new guides, double roller chain, Comp Cam "RV" cam, 4brl intake, probably not as much HP as the original, but should get me by, also hopefully helps my brother try to sell the motor ("hear it run"). He built it up as a class project at a local JC. He tried to sell it several times down to $300, no takers, so it has sat on an engine stand for over 6 years now...
