On the Contour the votlage reguator is incorperated into the altenator.
Another common casue of low altenator output is worn brushes, or as Jon mentioned one or more failed diodes the rectifier. Some places still sell altenator repair kits, (they include, brushes, brush holders, diode pack, regluator and some even come with shaft bearings) but most places don't becasue they'd rather sell you the entire unit.
