Thanks Jim. Here's why I ask. The original carbon block resistor was broken at some time in the past, actually about 1/4 of it was attached to one of the outside terminals on the regulator, and a second 1/4 attached to the to the other outside terminal. The center section (about 1/2 of the block) was/is missing. So I removed the anchor screws for the two pieces that were still attached and checked their resistance separately and away from the regulator with a digital ohm meter. Placing the probes at either end of either of the two broken pieces I get a resistance reading of anywhere from 12 to 20 ohms (depending on where I place the meter's probes .... or how close the probes are to each other on the carbon block when I make my reading). I am wondering how that is even possible if a full block is supposed to have a resistance of only 3 ohms.
I hope this makes sense with my description and that you can follow it. Looking forward to your reply ..... off to bed, will read it in the morning.
Thanks for the help with this. I suspect I will reply to your next reply.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
