C1 Voltage Regulator Fonts

[Bruce T.]

Did Delco Remy start changing the ones fonts in 1962 or earlier? I've noticed that earlier ones have the 90 degree tops but some later ones may have the arrow tops. This regulator is currently for sale on a well know website, and I am wondering if it is correct.

Bruce,
The 002E VR that I have is dated 1M. The 1 fonts have the 90*horizontal line on both the tops and bottoms. Also the one I have does not have the ground screw that is in your photo.

Thanks for the reply, Donald. Is there a hole for the screw, and if so, is it threaded?

Here is a photo of a different 002E VR with a 1M date code. It also has a ground screw and it has a smaller font for the 1119, or is it the 002E that is a different size?

I have in front of me a May 1962 002E regulator. The "1" font does not have the arrow characteristic that is refected in this photo.

The regulator has a ground screw. It is not threaded.

Sorry for the incomplete reply. The 1119 stamping should be smaller than the 002E.

Bruce,
your picture screams "restamp" to me.

Re: C1 Voltage Regulator Fonts

Don't know how many years the following applies to. Gary....

1) Factory installed 1956-57 Voltage regulators part number was in a single line. Font III9 (I used for 1) was smaller than the 0001 stamping.

2) Over the parts counter service replacement 1956-57 voltage regulators were concatenated in two lines, same as Bruce's photo.
