Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit from Jegs. Questions..

Actually, Rani, you don't have to use the late alternator regulator. MOST replacement regulators for pre--69 cars are already solid state. You can look on the bottom if you are not sure. If there are NOT two great big resistors on the bottom, it's a solid state regulator

This photo, with resistors, is an original mechanical regulator

The "quality" 69/ earlier replacements are NAPA VR-1001 or Standard (brand) VR-128. You can also use those on the later alternator by simply grounding one field terminal.

You can do this either way, but when I bought my 67, it had an breakerless "kit" with the old mechanical regulator, and seemed to run fine that way.

I have no idea of the quality of that Jeg's kit.


oh hee hee ..i have never bought a new replacement voltage regulator ......and all my 69 and earlier cars have been the original non-solid state ones

i usually use donor car parts bcoz im cheap ......but thats good to know that the new replacement v regulator units come in solid state.

thank you sir for your input ...i see there is more than one way to cook bacon here .....gee ya learn something new everyday :cheers:
