Just get a new replacement electronic type that looks like the points one.My kid has one in his 413 and with MSD and big stereo it cranks right up all the time.I did the dual field change on my 65 and his charges just as good even with the 62 alt still on in.If it wants to crank hard a different alt wont fix your problem unless it barely charges.Ive used the new replacemebt type reg on 4 cars and they all started and charged like a new car.The blue reg is a race unit and will not just bolt in on a older car.Rocky

Yes it will my friend. Uses the same 2 wires. I use them on every big block with electronic ignition.

To use the 70 style regulator you need to change the alt. To use the mopar performence regulator you don't
If you say so.

He has a 69. That is the older style alt. It's not a band aid it's the best regulator to use with electronic ignition in a mopar. Do your home work.
Homework - Hell I was working on these things when you were more than likely in 3 corner pants or before. Constant regulators are not meant and never were recommended to be used on constant running applications, but on race applications where short term charge is needed to keep a battery fully charged A good charging system is all that is (should be) needed and that constant 'flow' regulator is not the answer. If you feel that it is then go for it.

I'm 53 so unless your 80 i don't think you been doing anything since i was a kid. I been useing those regulators since they came out. Never a problem. There are a few hundred Mopars around here all useing them. We must all be stupid.
Still got 10 years on you and started working on them for a living in 67. Was twisting wrenchs on cars and trucks since I stared driving and at age 10 was hauling to elevators with grain trucks and had my license just by my 13th birthday. Glad to hear that you haven't cooked a battery (yet). Never were meant for constant street use but if you want to use them go for it. Few hundred I would doubt but if you say so.
