voltage regulator for 69 Coronet R/T

Thanks Bill.

My next question as I continue to read. What is the difference between an electronic regulator and a mechanical one? Can either be used independent of distributor? Right now I have a mopar electronic distributor in, but am going to install an original points distributor in the car real soon with a petronix inside it. Would this dictate/influence the regulator to be used?

Thought I read somewhere that early 69 builds had red stamp later were yellow....can't find where I read that though. Anyone have details when transition occurred?

Electronic ignition would benefit from the electronic controlled charging system with it's more constant/smoother voltages, but imo would not be a 100% required upgrade.

I've seen the red printed regulators but have it in my head they were more common in the 67 or maybe 68 or so model years.

Then again I remember something on the A12 board to the fact maybe early 69's had it as well, just not sure when the changeover was made.

A buddy of mine has several NOS ones and they are all red print, but they are non dated over the counter replacements

ones i have seen..68 and early 69 factory issue were yellow...later ones were red for some reason...i have a few of both NOS 67-9 date codes dan

I always thought that 67-8 and heard very early 69 had RED.
Yellow was 69 (don't know how early though).

My November 1968 built B Body has the red lettered regulator.Still the original one.

i,m beginning to suspect it was a vendor deal..both could be correct if you don't have your original.. dan
