| Post subject: | Electronic Voltage Regulator........ |
I supposedly upgraded my old style points regulator to a modern electronic version.......... Well after 6 months (3 month warranty) it crapped out. (had to reinstall original working points regulator) So I took it apart and figured out the main transistor fried. (no heat sinking). Well I did some searching and found this site: http://homepage.sunrise.ch/mysunrise/jo ... oltreg.htm This voltage regulator is a close match to the guts of my fried VR. The case of my fried VR is pretty small, and since I can't do surface mount devices does... Anybody have an old (non-working) points regulator that I can gut for a worthy experiment in making your own electronic Voltage Regulator? Thanks |

The Beater Valiant had one of the 'modern guts' points style regulators and it crapped out just like you stated...I had a spare and it crapped right out again...I had all the parts and a spare harness from an old boat mopar laying around, wired it for 1970+ Elec. VR, and the thing charges perfectly, no bouncing needle, no overcharging the battery, etc... I guess quality isn't up to snuff on many parts any more... Good luck on the experiment! -D.Idiot |

Why don't you just upgrade the whole darn system? http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Elec ... arging.htm There's tons of good info here, I went to the boneyard and got the alternator, reg, and a bunch of wire for under $30, grabbed it off something newer than a 74, alt puts out like 70-80 amps, I forget. I did the upgrade and couldn't be happier. Yea I know, Im leary of grabbing electricial stuff but got lucky on this, plus the car that I got it off of only had 56k on the clock so I figured I couldn't go wrong with it. Good luck with whatever you do. |

Holy crap you get up early!I do have one of the old mechanical regulators, on my 66 Cuda parts car. Let me know if you want it, and where to send it. |
