name of the company remaking the early volt regulators - 10/23/08 03:46 PM

what was the name of the company remaking the early style voltage regulators. They were taking the contacts out and putting modern guts in them. This is the little black box unit used from 61-69 that I am looking for.

thanks scott


I went to real time engeering website and I guess it's not them.

Scott, I think you can buy an electronic version and swap the guts into your '69 style case. One guy mentioned JC Whitney as having the electronic version that he used for his conversion.

A few issues ago in mopar action e berg took a wells brand voltage regulator that has modern electronics in it and removed the cover and put on the cover from the old style regulator said it fit right on. May not look 100% but sounds cheaper to do.

Bill,
I couldn't locate this on your website. How about posting a link.

I have a mopar constant out put on the shelf in the garage.

Would I be better to run it?

Msd, battery in the trunk, and run an electric pump about 50 percent of the time


Thanks Scott

I used a Duralast VR706 regulator from Autozone. I cut the ears off an old regulator cover then just epoxied it directly over the cover of the new one. It fits perfectly without removing the cover on the new regulator.

I did the same as Big John. got mine at autozone or murrys for around $20 put the old cover on the new base, and painted the base and cover, got new bolts from Bill at http://www.amhightechauto.com/ . Then went to a local sign shop and had the script on the cover made into stickers, they gave me 4 sets for $40. looks ok works great.

maybe someone can scan the front of their original
voltage regulator and post it on the board so we can duplicate the letterings.

Bill at A+M Hightech Automotive has them for $25. They are "Not" listed on his website.

Semi thread jack, my bee was switched to the dual field alt and new style regulator, is it possible to keep the dual field and use this type of regulator?

Ground one of the field connectors. The arrow shows you which one to ground.

Does anybody re-stamp the covers? I have one I cleaned and painted and would like to have stamped. Would like to have my pertronics coil stamped too.

Be carefull of these, I had one short out to the case and melt the wire to the ignition side. Fortunately turning off the key cut off the power. The terminal shifted in the body and since the pass through for this lug was not isolated it grounded the wire to the case. I was able to cut the wire out of the harness and splice in a new one. The configuration is slightly different than the one shown. FBO assured me that his would not have the problem I had. The new regulator he sold me was exactly the same as the one that failed. This type regulator has a bare wire going from the circuit board to the ignition lug.

It appears the same thing happend to my car with the previous owner...he ended up grounding the alternator and all seems fine (1970 alternator). The reason I know is I just noticed the wire from IGN side is melted from the firewall bulkhead back to the ignition switch in the dash.

I dont want this to happen again with new motor so I need to ask...if I have petronix (electrical ingnition) in my car with correct alternator (remand with one field) what style voltage regulator can I use (old style..NOS, or new one specificaly for cars with electronic ignition)?
