Re: Adjusting the Voltage Regulator

I don't know what your problem is, let me just say that in 50 years of servicing vintage cars I've NEVER found it necessary to adjust a new voltage regulator as bought. Shop manuals typically give detailed instructions of adjustments of the OEM regulators, how these might apply to an aftermarket unit is unknown to me. Are you sure your problem isn't elsewhere? In the regulator you bought the correct one for your generator? For most Packards post 1936 you can get correctly matched regulators from Echlin/NAPA.
