Voltage regulator on '87 5KCSTQ

[Paul Luevano <prl@ptc.com>]

Ok, I'll admit it at the get go, I've been lazy, and haven't
investigated this problem yet.  I figure I'll throw the symtoms to the
list to see if there are an BTDT's.

I had the alternator re-built about a year ago in the '87 5kcstq, and it
has performed well, until just lately.  Recently, at night, I've noticed
that my headl;ights were "pulsing", ever so slightly.  I didn't hink
much of it.

Then, while on a trip, I got the volt warning light.  I quickly switched
to channel 11 on the AC programer, to find 16.5V!! I shut the engine
down, and restarted it, back to 14.0v.  The car got me home.

Now, I can see the dash/radio/all interior lights doing the pulsing
thing.  I figure a bad voltage regulator.  Sound likely?  Now the
voltage regulator is internal to the alternator on these cars, right? 
So should I just get the whole thig rebuilt again, or is it easy to
replace just the regulator?

I'll attack the bently tonight, but any advice would be greatly
appriciated.
