Guest Olddog3 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Is there anything special about the voltage regulator on a '41 Mod. 47 Special or will any typical 6V regulator be OK? I can get plenty of generic regulators but I thought I recalled something about the windings in the Buick generator. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest unclefogey Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Knowing that the voltage regulator in my '41 was not functioning properly, I was on the lookout for the possibility of finding one at swap meets during the winter storage time. Found a similar looking one at the Portland swap meet (was visiting a friend) which was marked as for a range of years which included '41 but was stated as being applicable to the larger series 60, 70, 80. I asked the seller if it would work in a model 46, and he repied that it wouldn't because of a different amp. rating of my generator. Can only believe this is true, because he didn't have a sale based on this info.Bought one from Bob's, the one without Delco on it for $15.00 less. Bob's lists this regulator as for all 6V, 1940-53, so, go figure. The Delco logo one is listed as only applicable through 1951, so, go figure again. Nothing is listed for '34 through '39. I wonder what these owners do when their regulators give out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
