voltage regulator how do you know
Hi All,
How do you know what alternator you have so that you can buy the right voltage regulator. I have a 72 T 2.4. I think I have a 55 amp alternator which should make it a motorola, I think. I need to purchase a voltage regulator. The one I have is a black plastic covered version. I think I need to buy a bosch regulatory but need feed back to know. Any thoughts to make sure I purchase the right one.

You need the Bosch (mechanical) regulator to match the OEM alternator. This sits on the left side panel in the engine compartment.

voltage regulator
Thanks Steve, for comfirming this.
I probably will need a rebuild of the alternator as well so I thought of replacing both alterntor and regulatory at the same time. I wanted to keep this combination. I've read on Pelican that it is better to stay with separate regulatory/alternator combination rather than going to the more modern self contained regulatory in alternator combination.
