I have another question though: where on my '71 is the rectifier? Does it even have one?

Please keep carb questions in the carb category and "electrical" questions in the electrical category.

And, maybe do a search in the electrical category for "rectifier", on the off chance that you can find an answer there, if not, then start a new thread. Thanks.
