Would like to find a new regulator for my 6v system on a 50 chev pu with a 235, I am overcharging to 10v and higher, any ideas? The regulator has no adjusting screws, bending tabs is the only method from my reading. Not confident with this or any method, maybe a new one would solve the problem

What Mike B said.
I would stick with Delco Remy NOS.
I saw a few on E Pay. Not too bad on price either.

There are two kinds of regulators- - - -"Delco" and "WRONG!". Send me a PM and I can walk you through a very simple diagnostic procedure to make sure the regulator is actually the problem. A short to ground on one of the wires can put the generator into full output, and swapping regulators won't help.

Hi Hot rod Lincoln, tried a PM but couldn't something about you being in a private message limit, I should mention that only when I rev the motor the voltage goes higher, on the dash ammeter its hard to tell but with a voltmeter at the engine I can read a minimum of 10 volts without messing my hairdo
