Robert, You don't have to cut your harness to disconnect your external voltage regulator. A lot of the electrical companies that make harnesses for Muscle Cars and hot rods have an adapter that you plug into your wiring harness. Check with Centec, Painless, Ron Francis, M&H, etc. They can also supply you with the rubber boot. These guys don't kill you on shipping like the Chevelle suppliers do.
