Re: : regulator

Diagram #2 and #3 are the same.

It is saying that if you want to upgrade to the new style transistorized regulator you will need an alternator with 2 field terminals or modify your existing single field alternator and bring the other set of brushes out that is currently grounded to a second field terminal.

HOWEVER Herb has the answer. The new regulators like he showed the listing for on EBay are transistorized but built into the same case as the older mechanical regulator. The one Herb shows has exactly the same case and looks exactly stock if that is important.

You can go to any parts house and get an electronic regulator to replace the existing mechanical regulator, it will be the 60's style single field regulator and have the correct bolt pattern and wire connections but the case will be slightly different in appearance. If you look at the EBay listing Herb shows the bottom of the new regulator does not have any of the wire wound resistors the old mechanical regulators have. If you get one from a parts house look at the bottom, if there are resistors you don't want it, it is very old stock and mechanical.

The new transistorized regulator replacement for our old ones work great and will work with any electronic ignition system.

As stated in the article the regulator must have a very good ground. It is also very important that the field wire or field wires if using the new 2-field regulator are in good condition and not cracked or frayed allowing them to go to ground or it will destroy the regulator.

Nice, easy to understand link, but diagram #2 is the same as diagram #3. I need to use a transistor regulator with the early round-back alternator, but not sure if the info is correct in #3.........................MO

Subject: Re: : regulator

I would just get a stock regulator from any parts house. Look at the bottom and if it has resistors it is old stock, you want a solid state unit with nothing on the bottom.

Wiring is simple:

Ignition switch supplies 12 volts in

One output to the stock alternator for the field (if you have a two field alternator ground one of the field pins)

The regulator must have a very good ground.

That is all there is.

Let us know how it goes.
