Anybody know where I can get a voltage regulator
for a 1936 Plymouth P2? (This is a 3-in-1 unit.)

My 1949 issue Autolite catalog shows this being a 2 stage
regulator OE. What is the ID number of the one you have if its
original Autolite?

Cheers,

The number you have is correct. If you take the cover off you
will see only sets of points, hence 2 stage.

I have one NOS thats been out of its box forever and a couple
of good used ones. If you are interested I will make sure they are
all in excellent working condition with my handy dandy Crumbliss
regulator test bench which can be seen at http://acewichita.com/06_vintage.htm
If you are interested in either let me know which and I will give
you a price?

Cheers,

That's great, Glenn! Glad you're out there!

Will pull my generator with the regulator on Monday for bench testing.
When I find out what's going on, I can make a move: adjust, rebuild,
replace, or install a 6 volt alternator.

Here is a pic of one that was sent to Oslo Norway. Just got an email
it finally got warm enough for him to enjoy his car a 52 Plymouth.
The shiny bits are either new or have been replated. I use no silver/aluminum paint on my rebuilt generators or starters.

Well, I took the '36 Plymouth P2's generator & regulator to
a trusted rebuilder for bench testing. The repairs needed
were estimated in excess of $100.

So, I bought a tested, rebuilt, 6 volt, positive ground,
one wire alternator for $60. A lot of these units are sold
around here (Wisconsin) and are popular at the Iola Old Car
Show . They crank out about 7.5 volts and 32-35 amps. And,
the price is right! Will keep the stock generator, regulator,
& bracket.

Thanks for replying to my need! Your replies are in my tech
file for future reference & to pass on to others.

Glad to help where ever I can? Take care and enjoy the summer.
