S/G Delco Remy regulator/ rectifier

[kpinnc 15,165]

No rush, but I've been looking for a while for one for my 701. The original looked decent on the outside and was like someone was trying to grow crystals on the inside. It's corroded beyond what I want to deal with. 

 

Anybody know a good source for them? Jungle site has them for around $60 but I have no idea if that is good or not, or if the quality is any good.

Like most Wheelhorse parts I'd be more prone to asking one of our main vendors for a used VR than chancing a new one.

Agreed. And if you were able to find a good used period-correct one, it is easily adjustable, unlike the newer knockoff reproductions.

A three terminal voltage regulator like the ones used on GM cars and trucks from 1955 to about 1972 can be used. They do not have the "L" terminal but will do the job and will probably be more affordable.

These are pricey, but made in USA, and I've never had an issue with one that I've bought.

Heartily agree.

I was unable to tweak an “aftermarket”, non-adjustable unit to hit the correct voltages on my K181. It is now in my “use as a last resort” bin--replaced with a period-correct unit I found at the big show.

From the image, note the different terminal configuration.

It is, but it will work. The only terminal that is missing is the L terminal, which doesn't really matter because you can run that wire directly off the BAT terminal.

FYI.  There are some of those on sale on eBay right now for about $44 out the door to you. New open box. I ordered one to see what they look like.

Yep, I had one of these. Just pointing it out so there is no confusion due to the different-than-probably-expected configuration. 😁 ✅
