Default Trying to get a little info...

I have an 88 gt that has been seriously modified, and I am trying to work out a few bugs. I am only getting about 11 Volts when the car is running. A friend of mine checked the Alt, and said it is able to put out 13.5 Volts at idle, and the voltage regulator is probably bad. This is exactly what I thought was the problem, however, I can't find it anywhere. I went to Advanced auto parts, and picked up a regulator, but I can't find it to replace it. They were out of Mustang repair books at the store, so I am hoping one of you know where it is located. Thanks.

the regulator is built in with the alternator so you need to change the alternator out.
