yanking the voltage regulator?
 
Can you rip out the voltage regulator after installing a 130 amp alternator?

Is this on your 91'?

If so the VR is inside the alternator.

It you have an external VR then yes you can ditch it when installing a 3g.

86' and newer had a internal regulator.

85' older had a external regulator.

O.K. thanks, yep it's on the '91. I did a full system charge test and found a parasitic draw. It said "excessive amps". At first I thought it meant the 130 amp was too much for the car,lol.

Stanger, just to let you know if you didnt, that a voltage regulator regulates voltage not amps. maybe you knew this maybe you didnt. just thought i would tell you if you didnt.
