Do I need to disconect the stock voltage regulator if I'm running a chevy alternator. the alternator has a built in one but if i leave it plug in will it hurt anything. rather be safe then sorry.

1979 toyota 4x4 pick up 20r

 

yes you would if the new one has a integral voltage regulator

 

do the stock voltage regulator protect the ignition module?

 

not sure if this helps, but check out this thread...https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f131...-3-0-a-118482/

 

Here is another link. Can't have to much info.

My voltage regulator is disconnected, and everything seems fine w/ the GM One-Wire Alt.
