Voltage Regulator wireing

Can any one help with the wiring of a regulator.
The terminals on the regulator are not marked and the wiring harness plug only has three grey wires none of which are colour coded.

Wheel Base

I have been offered a trailer but before I accept it I would like to confirm the front wheel base of a Lambda.
I am unable to get to my car that I am building until the end of the month. Would be a shame to miss this.

Dipstick Tube

Having just rebuilt the engine from a box of parts I have now found to my horror that the dipstick tube is blocked. :(
I do not really want to dismantle the engine again, can any one help and tell me how to remove the tube to clear it. :)
