Voltage Regulator
The Ford Autolite voltage regulator in my 427SC failed recently and I looked for a new electronic replacement. I found a Motorcraft replacement at CJ Ponyparts(1-800-888-6473). Their part number is VR8. The part is an electronic Motorcraft part #5U2J-10316-AA N4CMB. Price is $39.95. It has the same base as the 60's Ford regulator that I was using. It also fits the standard Ford 4 pin plastic connector. The cap is chrome and is about 1/2 the height of the Autolite unit. The cap is easily removed by drilling out the 2 rivets that secure it to the base and a vintage looking cap can be installed with 2 self tapping screws.
I am totally happy with the installation. It handles load changes far better than the original Autolite unit.
I have a 1965 looking regulator with modern electronics inside.
