Topic: Concours correct voltage regulator for 64 1/2?

[marbar11]

Didn't realize that Bob- maybe they still make the cover but not the regulator itself?

I know that this is a bit of a stale post but wanted to add that the color of the top stamp changed over 64 to 66.  The bottom left is a 3L dated original, bottom center is a 6B dated original.  Note how the earlier one the color is more towards Ford blue, while the 66 is more of a teal or aqua.  The others are pics of the the two repro lids from AMK posted earlier in the thread and one of the complete repro regulators that AMK used to sell, all having an aqua color.  Also note how the stamp on the repros is much thicker, almost looks silk screened, rather than ink stamped as the originals were.

Sorry Scott you lost me - voltage regulators for generator cars in 66? Are you referring to service replacements made in 66?

Just providing the date stamped on the back.  Must assume that the 66 date was a service replacement, yes.  Don't know if the lighter color was used on the line.  I point it out because the repro has been done closer to  this lighter color.

Would not be used on the line in 65 or 66 after generator installation ended

Of course, this regulator would have only been used prior to the August 64 changeover.  The question is whether any of these regulators with the aqua colored top stamps were produced and installed on the line prior to the changeover.

Good question.  Don't think any of the ones I have pictures are clear enough or not faded enough to tell with any certainty
