Re: Voltage Regulator advice

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I think you're limited to who you can find that still supplies Motorola regulators! I'd go with Balkamp (NAPA) though. Unless you want to switch to a GM alternator or a new model from someting else. The Jeep alternators (Mitsubishi) are a bit expensive though -- replaced mine with a 40A Delco 10si (I think it's 40A...).

I have a spare stock alternator that came with the car (I believe it's the original, but not sure) and had planned to just take it to an auto electrice shop here in town for rebuilding/upgrade.

The stock Motorola is on it now, and I have no reason to suspect it's not OK, but still, I'd like to go ahead and replace both the alt and VR at the same time for reliability (I will be driving this car to Atlanta this summer).  Any suggestions to what regulator available aftermarket that's the best buy (not the cheapest, but the best buy)?  I don't care about strict originality as much as reliability.  I can always keep the stock one and put it back on for a show if I'm worried about it, although that Sanden AC compressor will pretty much shoot the originality issue in the foot...
