Re: Adjusting the Voltage Regulator

Ok, so it has been charging fine for a while after the new regulator. Recently, it wouldn't charge until I drove the car for about 15 minutes, and then would start to charge (lights would be dim, horn wouldn't work, then when the charging system kicks in everything gets brighter). Now, sometimes it won't charge at all even after a 30 minute drive. I've been stranded with a dead battery twice now!! The generator still charges fine when the regulator is bypassed. Any thoughts on this???

I have an old NOS Allstate regulator I am going to try. It has a different mounting pattern, so I'm going to make an aluminum adapter plate to avoid drilling new holes in the firewall.....
