I'm fed up w/ the old mechanical regulator...it was overcharging to

I had found a replacement SS regulator some months ago but now for the
life of me can't seem to locate it. Seems like several of the parts
places had it but none of the links in my history seem to find it now
and I can't recall the manufacturer (was 3rd party, not OEM) and my
searches are also coming up empty...

Seems like there was a 'V' in the manufacturer's name but that may be
false...

Anyway, anybody know of which speaketh and can point me at 'em?

Hmmmm....hadn't seen that previously. Looks like it's work but they're
surely proud of 'em. The one I had seen a while back were 3rd party and
about a third that...

I still can't find that -- I spent about an hour yesterday going thru my
browser history trying to find a link but no joy...

I did find another full Delco nomograph on the mechanicals and detailed
adjustment procedures--mayhaps I'll try again that route.
