MOST Carb ones were external regulator type. Same set up as Bundera. The Part number for the Ingrams replacement one is 831231 AFAIR.Quote:

You have a very understanding wife Banjo,if the alternator is covered in PS fluid it would not be helping,it's common for cruisers to show the warning light because the plug comes loose from the alternator or it fills with muck,I'd look at giving it a good clean-up and checking the output. Pat
Ok this is what happend.i jumped it got in the carport.then started from scratch we jumped it & it read somewhere around the 12. something.when i diconected the leads it went to 9.4 to 9.11 & when i reved it it got to 9.30.& when we turned it off it started to go up from 9.30 i didnt see what it went up to just thought thats bad.
I think the batery & the alternator are FUBARQuote:

As others have said, it is a pretty safe bet the voltage regulator has failed.
It is a pretty common failure to occur to Toyotas of that vintage when they get a few kms on board.
Even if the alternator is internally regulated the replacement is cheap and a 5 minute fit.
The alternators either working too hard because the battery is stuffed OR the alternator cant keep up because the oil has contaminated everything, you might even have some AC ripple coming out of it which is stopping it from charging and if bad enough will fry batteries in very short order.
will your landy battery physically fit in the toymota for diagnostics testing?
