    1966 Voltage regulator

    I need a new voltage regulator for my 1966 327-300hp. Car was built on Dec. 14, 1965 I know I need a 1119515 regulator. When looking for a correct date, how far prior to my build date should I go? Thanks for any info Larry.....

    Larry, if the VR you have now is correct, why not go the solid state route and no more worries.
    Buy the Wells VR715, and put your cover on it and your good to go. Bill

      The one on the car is not correct its an aftermarket unit, not a Delco. Thanks for the info, Larry.....

        John Pirkle in the Driveline and the standard answer for the NCRS is six months prior is acceptable but a couple weeks is more realistic.

          Agree with Peter on timing, if your car was built late in the month, you will be looking for a VR with that same month-year date.

          As far as covering and aftermarket, the part number and date code are stamped and show on the mounting flange...

          With a slight amount of patience you can find the proper date code, these went on a lot of GM cars back then.

            Larry,

            I have a used "5M" 1119515 Delco VR in need of a better cover but it seems to me that a "5L" dated VR would be more appropriate for your car.
