Glad to hear it's doing well!

Looks great, Matt! I need to figure out if any of my cars still use this type of reg, but will likely order one anyway.

Next item on the agenda is a replacement for the points style voltage regulator. I can go with a fairly convincing looking off the shelf case stamped in China, or have custom made 3d printed or vacuuformed plastic in the USA. Which would you prefer?

As one person, I would say that my priority is generally original appearance.

Material is secondary, if it looks reasonably like a "normal" regulator, because who's going to reach over and tap it to see what it's made out of?

Also, all things being equal, I would prefer something made "here" to something made "there."
If you can get something amazing from China, but only something crappy from the US, then China would be the way to go, but if there isn't a giant difference, then US is better. And I'd pay a bit more for US (I know a lot of these decisions are based on fairly small price differences).

Thanks for all you've done!

I'd probably go with what's already made if it looks similar to stock. The internals are what are important and that is where the quality parts should be.

PS, I have about 800 miles on the test unit on the truck. Still working fine.

I appreciate the feedback! It looks like whatever I do, getting something that looks relatively stock-ish needs to be important for the points-type regulator.

To make QC testing easier, I'm going to make a meter that you connect to a voltage regulator and it measures the voltage setpoint automatically. Is this something anyone would be interested in for their toolbox if a production version cost $100 or less? Or really just something I ought to save for my own bench?

oooh new tool

count me in

Why not just use a multimeter? What's special about that tool? Curious...

This would be for bench testing a voltage regulator off the car. You'd just connect the meter to the regulator, and the meter measures the voltage setpoint. With a multimeter, you'd also need an adjustable power supply and test light, or to test the regulator on the car. This is for seeing if a regulator is good without hooking it up to anything except the meter.

Mostly, it's something that will help me QC a lot of regulators, but I figured some mechanics or restorers might also need to check regulators on the bench.

Great. That makes sense. Thanks.
