a word of warning - i'm trying to troubleshoot a charging issue on my
'68 american [55a moto alt], and i'm on my 3rd napa regulator.  #2
worked briefly then went silent.  #1 and #3 never did anything.

my original reg overcharges at 18v.

as noted, there's a 55a moto that uses the same case and reg as your
35; it was hd optional.

if you still go ahead with the delco alt, could you send me your old
