Maybe it's just that I'm a novice, but I can't locate the voltage regulator:ermm:

If its a 280Z then it's internal.

If it isn't mounted below the underhood trouble light, guess it means they started the internal regulator in 77 and not 78 like has been previously thought....

I think they changed in 77 but am not 100% sure...

There were quite a few changes made between the 75-76's and the 77-78's that it is probable they did...

That was a quote from Haynes.

I assumed all 280's had IR altenators?

Thanks!

I realize its a five year old post, but for the sake of others searching. On a 77, the voltage regulator is external. It's tucked away behind the bracket that holds the fusible links. Hard to see, but it's there. - lenny
