couple of days ago when i started up my 87 5.0 i noticed that the voltage had spiked and sat at almost 17-18 volts on the meter until i turned the headlights i heard some clicking under the dash and then the voltage dropped to 8 volts and stayed there..... needless to say i have an alternator / voltage regualator problem.
heres the issue... removed the alternator from the car today and ran into this issue. i cannot remove this plug and there seems to be no way to get it out. from pictures around the net it is the rectifier plug but i need someone to tell me whats going on here because unless im missing something this plug looks like it does not come out..does it need to be cut? there are no clips or spade to push to even unclip it.. ..please help thanks
