Bosch no longer makes the electro-mechanical voltage regulators,
substituting a 'new generation'

that tries to force the engine to operate beyond design parameters
has become a thing of the past.
I'm driving to the Parts Obsolete
Campout at the end of the week and decided to check the toein on my
car. The measurement and adjustment are easy and can be done in a
couple hours including building the tools.

belt broke. So I put together this page on
fan belt adjustment.
