CJ7: Voltage regulator
Hi,
I'm just reading the new book "Jeep CJ Rebuilders Manual" by Moses Ludel and
there is a chapter covering Electrical and Ignition system upgrades. The
main topic is installing a MSD 6 ignition unit, and he writes: "Like other
electronic devices, the MSD/6 requires clean, reliable voltage signals. The
Premier alternator and solid-state voltage regulator provide the juice. We
are in the modern era and need to take advantage of this technology". Then
there's a picture of this electronic device - the voltage regulator.
Last year a MSD 6 was installed in my CJ7 from 1979 (360), but without a
voltage regulator. Is this regulator a MSD device ?, and where can I buy it
?. Do you have any comments/recommendations ?
Thanks,
Thomas Pedersen

Hi Thomas,
I think you're trying to follow some bad third hand info. The
voltage regulator would be the last place I'd choose to connect your
brain box. If for your year AMC is still using a regulator and Motorola
alternator, it will look like:
http://www.----------.com/motorolaAltWire.jpg and not if it's been
converted to Delco, like:

with your wiring instructions:
