Hi Jon, The OE ACR alternators(certainly the later years)fitted to the MGB have an internal voltage regulator. The only separate voltage regulator is used for the fuel & electric temp gauges which is sited behind the instrument panel near the steering column. I assume the engine is running &...

Glad you have had a "light bulb" moment!
