GENERATOR REGULATORS / CUTOUTS

[Bill Boudway]

Hi Folks,

Who knows anyone who can replace origional electrical parts in the voltage regulators with modern electronic componants? 6-volt.

Thanks,

Bill Boudway

It probably depends on the electrical system. I've seen such systems advertised for Model A and early V8 Fords. If you are running a Delco-Remy electrical system (GM, early Chrysler products, and possibly others) there is a fellow that makes voltage regulators that fit under the cover of the original third brush generators.

Here is a write up on what I did: http://www.ply33.com/Repair/voltreg

Hi PLY 33,

Thanks for your reply to my post.

I clicked on the link to see what you did, but the print was so small that I couldn't read it.

Any chance that you could e-mail it to me at gnbboudway@msn.com?

Thanks,

Bill Boudway

I am a little surprised about the print size as seen on your computer. Could you forward me a screen shot so that I can see what happened and fix the web site?

I have forwarded you an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of that page that I hope will have type big enough for you.

Bill,

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, try changing the text size.

Top menu/View/text size/ choose medium or larger.

I have the same problem with web sites if my text size is set to small or smallest.

The font work great for me no trouble reading the post. The regulator sounds great. I going to write jpetersonbend@yahoo.com to see if he does autolite stuff. I also got a six post relay that runs the overdrive that could use new insides.

Hi Steve,

Many thanks for the info on enlarging text.

It's always a good day when I can learn something new.
