(Home) Alternator trouble

I have a 1984 Space Cruiser and I connected a new battery up backwards. I blew something, and as the battery no longer charged, assumed it to be the alternator, and had it repaired. But the battery light still wont go out. Then the auto-electrician told me that there was a controller unit ? under the dashboard. Can anybody tell me anything about this ? Is is replaceable, fixable ? What does it look like. Thanks !

That'll be the regulator.
On a Townace remove the glove box and there you are, a smallish box with wires going into it. Assume it is in the same place on a Spacecruiser?
