I've been having issues with my 6v voltage regulator for quite some time now. I replaced it with a new one last year and still having some issues.

I'm seriously contemplating changing over to a 6v solid state regulator for my 50 Chevy truck.

Does anyone know where I can purchase one?

I dought if you will find a 6 volt solid state regulator. The regular one should work. We used them for years. Some of this after market stuff is not good. Try & find a Delco-Remy original equip. brand. even a used one can be cleaned up & used. They may look rough on the outside but when you take off the cover it is like new.

The old ones are serviceable as per the factory truck shop manual.

I've researched Delco Remy voltage regulators and there's all kinds available with different model #. The service manual talks about how to set it up but no where can I find the model #.

Can anyone help me out on this? It's for a 50 Chevy 6volt system
