It can be fixed on a temporary basis but replcement of the unit is highly reccommended. This part is OK to buy 2nd hand (junkyard) It will generally run about $50. used. It will last about 2 years and you'll have to do it again. If you can get a regulator out of an 86 or newer it should last longer. Check the archives for the places to buy the parts. Sandy
