Very nice. I will keep that in mind when mine craps the bed one day!

it cost me roughly 15 bucks to make mine and while i was there at radio shack i bought a project box to shove it all in

Did you put heat sink compound between the rectifiers and the mounting plate?

 

[bennett834725]

are you talking about thermal paste

 

[16VGTIDave]

Yes. Sounds like you did. Just checking...

 

[bennett834725]

yea i did lol

 

[bennett834725]

so i installed the new home made rectifier and the 1970 dodge regulator (vr733) and it is back to running strong and puts out a nice 13.97 volts at a idle and 14.76 at a nice rev

 

[16VGTIDave]

Well done!

 

[bcware]

Good job. These sorts of solutions are very useful. Most people don't know that it is possible to use a home made or different reg/rect.

[bennett834725]

[xschris]

Looks good

Great photos. Any chance of grabbing a higher-rez version to use as a desktop? I'd put mine there but it's not nearly so nice looking, and also in pieces.

 

[bennett834725]
