I bought the last solid state regulator Mark had hoping to solve my charging issues or at least eliminate it as the problem (can't get more than about 13v while running). I have 3 regulators that have been in the car over the years, but the last/newest one has been there for at least 20 yrs. I don't know if these are bad, good, or somewhere in between and I have no way of testing them. So no idea what they may be worth, if anything. Opinions?

Wish i had that! No idea on bench testing. Havent installed it yet but i picked up one of these adjustable regulators a few months ago just to see what it will do. I run AGM Odyssey batteries in all my 914s and they tend to like a little higher voltage than 914 provide stock. https://www.ebay.com/itm/291674432232?fits=...%3ABFBMnOKWh-dg |
