i noticed the points on my voltage regulator are totally worn out is there a rebuild kit or do you have to replace the whole unit if so any suggestions to replace the regulator (model and where to buy)
thanks

you can buy an modern solid state one from somewhere in Florida, thats the best way forward

I bought a new solid state one from RDENT. Good price and fast delivery.

ok little update i ordered 2 voltage regulator first one from rd fantastic service very nice people the regulator 45 us i asked for shipping ups was 60 us plus some other fees that would be about another 60 us so they called me back and said shipping was crazy so i told them to send it by regular mail
so total cost 72 us part and shipping but don’t know how long before i get it
then i saw a regulator mecanical for 20 dollars cdn new said free shipping ups so i ordered it should arrive very soon
i find it sad that shipping is so expensive almost 3 time the price of the part i want to encourage enterprise that caters to lotus europas so i guess i have to wait longer to get my parts
here’s pictures of the two regulators one electronic and one mecanical
-
You should check your local auto parts supplier. They should be able to supply the Chrysler regulator and no shipping at all.

thanks jb it would be much more expensive here and they wouldn’t have it in stock so online free delivery 🤓👍
