Age of a NEW regulator not withstanding. I'vehad TWO different NON-Packard regeulators, one bought NEW from a dealer, NEW in a box. They were REpop regulators, NOname brand other than they APPEARED identicle to OEM and in a box that only RESEMBLED OEM box (no name on box).
BOTH regulators did not work upon installation. After i got over my disgust i took the cover off and cleaned the contacts. Been working fine now for well over a year.

We have to keep in mind that repop parts may need more than just customary service routine effort.

Some repop is strictly junk, some is very good but requires more than just standard shop practice fitment.
