I have a NOS 1969 voltage regulator. # 2098300 The paint on the cover needs redone. Is there anyone that restores these covers. I'd like to get the cover and the lettering repainted. Also on a June of 69 built car should the lettering be red or yellow.
Thanks

I believe Performance Graphics in Florida restores the voltage regulator case and I believe cover is yellow. Hope this helps.

Yes Performance Car Graphics did these. But Dave sadly has passed away. Mike Mancini has taken over the business. But I have not heard if he is doing them so looking to see what is available.
Thanks

On the any line regulators the printing was white, yellow was what was sold at the dealer. ECS can do the scrip, but they are limited on the date codes, call them. Question, does the body have a raised bump on the lower left hand side? Sorry, never mind what I said, for some reason I was thinking Imperial, which was the first car that got the electronic reg.

Reproduction with electronic internals that I bought years ago with a 1968 date code for my 1969 Barracuda built in November 1968.

Factory original from my '69 Barracuda built in 1968 showing how the cover attaches to the base is not the same as the reproduction nor the eBay NOS.

MY 2cents. But this is NOT an oem regulator




But.

Now I'm starting to wonder what these are worth

Oops, my bad. The old regulator above is not factory original. I found a 1971 date code on the bottom side. It's most likely an aftermarket regulator since I would have bought it from a parts store, not a dealer's parts department.

What they're worth will vary with the person. One note on the regulator shown. To my understanding the assembly line correct version will have 3 bars on the back side. Two directly side by side and a 3rd opposite them at an angle. My opinion the one shown with only the 2 bars is possibly a later over the parts counter issued regulator. Does anyone have a spare clamp and hex head bolt for the Field side wire hook up connection they would be willing to part with?? I'm looking for those.

Here is the 3 bar version. I've got some of each. 3 bar is harder to find though seems like.

I wonder what the difference is inside, if any.

Can't answer that! Actually I've never had the cover off one. I think if a person really looks close this can be seen on the car as the regulator sticks out from the firewall some. Small detail for sure but one none the less!!
