I'm pretty sure I read about a supplier on this forum. Anyone recall the link? I have a TO-30 but I believe the regulator would be the same as on the N's. Thanks

Ray..... ....do a google search on "echlin voltage regulator" (I did) and you'll probably find your answer..... ...respectfully, Dell

who found out NAPA is part of Echlin Ind.

you could go to most any AGCO/Allis or Case/IH dealer for this VREG. 6V Pos gnd A circuit, real common, but I wouldn't use a FORD VREG on it, I'd go with a 'fits Delco'.

What changes did the delco gennies do that changes the vreg..? ( being curious here.. ) different field coil? therefore different resistance and calibration for the vibrating contact?

I saw an add a while back about a solid state 2 terminal cutout for the 1 wire gennies.. and also a solid state 2 terminal cutout/regulator, again.. for the 1 wire gennies. Is that what you have? or do you have a 3 wire genny?

Do you not like the standard vibrating contact regulators?

1953 Ferguson TO-30 everything restored as origional. (except color, after all the work I just had to add some red) Delco-Remy third brush, two wire (A&F)generator. New wiring harness. I have replaced the regulator twice in last 5 years. Same service history and problem symtoms for both. They work great about 2 years, then stop enabling a charge. When battery starts getting weak, I can tap on side of regulator and the amp meter starts showing a charge....until battery charged up. A charge cycle will not begin unless I tap the regulator. I took the first unit apart and drew some 600 grit sandpaper between the contacts. That would cause regulator to resume normal function, but only for a month or so. Became too much trouble to repair so I purchased a replacement. NAPA $61.51. Now two years later having same symptom as before and can repair temporarly in same way. I just expected a regulator to last at least 10-15 years. Any advice welcome.

I would also expect a regulator to last longer than that. The one on my 66 IH cub looks OEM. And my NAA has a very old alternator with v-reg... housing is rusty.. etc..

Are you mounting it in a spot that it gets wet alot.. or bounced around?

Even though that sandpaper 'brings it back to life' it is damaging the contacts too. Try a points hone or file on it instead. Even a piece of brown paper grocery sack.. or as one member suggested.. a dollar bill. It leaves less striations on the contact area of the points.
