I have been reading Aeroelectric and Bob recommends a generic Ford voltage regulator. If I was going to use an alternator from Autozone, would I need to find an alternator made for a Ford, or would any externally regulated alternator work?
Why not use the referenced 1975 Ford LTD regulator? It was used in a host of different vehicles and should be in stock at any auto parts store.
I've had one in my RV-6 for 15 years.
Giuys, my alternator "sings" through the audio system. Any guesses about it being quieter if I switch to the B&C regulator? The current regulator is a cheap switcher.
In other words, does most of the high pitch whine originate in the alternator but get stopped by a good regulator in quiet planes?
