Fair 'nuff.
I'm not a fan, either. My favourite drop-in solid-state regulator for the pre-'70 systems is
this one. It looks a little different, but fits right in and hooks right up.
Then make sure you have a spare one, too…! (MSD quality/dependability dropped hard a couple decades ago; I'm sure it had nothing whatever to do with them moving production to China, that must have been just complete coincidence).
Repair parts small enough to throw in the glovebox + available anywhere you might drive…!
