Do you have any photos of your regulator or anything from a parts manual showing the layout? As you asked in your first post, I have no idea if Hudson used the same regulators as Packard or had their own and just used the same motor. If AMC did buy and use the same basic components from an outside vendor it might make doing a retrofit motor more feasible.

I still think a modern motor swap can be done and playing with a Dorman motor, it looks easier and simpler to make an adapter than that on the first motor photos I posted . I've ordered a couple of ready made items to see if something can be made using off the shelf parts. Should know if that will work by the end of week.

Incidentally, in spite of the Packard (Delco) pinion being 6 tooth the Ford 9 tooth pinion the other poster mentioned does mesh perfectly with the Packard regulator gear. Problem is the the pinion diameter is approx 1/8" too large to fit the regulator space and slide in the end support bearing without modifying the regulator. Not going to do that so the modern motor stock pinion can't be used. Modern motors also have the pinion close to the motor so pinion is too far away from the regulator portion to mesh without some kind of shaft extension or adapter.

Will be interested to know if someone will rewind your motor and how price comparable it would be to one of the NOS or used that are available.
