70$ voltage regulator vs 20$ one, is it worth it?

OK, I concede that # will work

Wait, whoah, time-out. Y'mean yer thinkin' I might not be totally full of it? That there's a slim chance I might not be just makin' stuff up as I go along, that I might actually give good advice based on direct knowledge, experience, and research, and that I might keep my mouth shut when I don't know what I'm talking about…? Wow! So strange, it's almost as if I started looking into (and trying out) regulator options for the '60-'69 charging system twenty years ago, have formed an opinion on what works and lasts the best from that experience, and have been keeping track of the various product changes since then…naw, that couldn't be it. :roll:

I can assure you I went to the (really crappy) Echlin site and can find no evidence that this no. is a recommended replacement.

So…what? You went to an unhelpful website, didn't find what you might've been looking for and just…stopped and drew your conclusion? What is that conclusion? You're skeered to put a better regulator on your car because the website you went to doesn't give you a permission slip? Okeh, that's your choice. I think it's a thoughtless choice, but it's your thoughtless choice to make on your car.

Meanwhile, I will keep giving good, solidly-grounded advice when I can, and keeping my mouth shut when I don't have good advice to give.
