I don't want the NAPA Echlin ones scince they are made in china now and work just as well as a cheap one, and I cant get ahold of a Bluestreak one anymore, so what other VR brand should I get? I want to have a good one, and a back up. |

Why can't you get hold of a Standard/BlueStreak one "any more"? They're distributed all over North America. If you want to be able to adjust the line voltage, see this thread. |

Im not really sure. The only place that carries Standard products does not even list it anymore, and can't order it. I can get a Standard one, but not the BlueStreak one.

Oh, that's 'cause there's never been a BlueStreak version of the Standard regulator VR-125, as far as I know. |

So the Standard VR-125 will be fine then? Quote: I got a Transpro adjustable unit, but be warned that the box said Made in China.
Im fed up with chinese crap. What really did it for me is when I paid $32 for an Echlin VR and it had "Made in China" on the back, they work about the same or worse than the cheapo generic $15 ones!  Needless to say, I got my money back...

If your car is still eating voltage regulators, there's still something wrong with your car. |

Its not eating them anymore, as far as I can tell. The cheapo one thats in there right now is holding up well, although the ammeter still twitches a little at idle and is rock solid when driving. No more flickering lights either  I just want a spare, just in caseQuote: You could always make your own
I would but... I would be afraid I wouldn't do a good job and it would catch fire or somthing...
