So,
My partner replaced our alternator on our RV-6 with a Honda alternator. Subseqently the voltage regulator (I pretty sure, sense i get plenty of voltage coming out of the alternator and none with the regulator connected). went out. The person who build the plane said it was Vans voltage regulator. Its black with only 3 hook ups, an IGN, FLD and gorunding post
I cannot find the same one on Vans's website. So, I am looking of an inexpensive voltage regulator solution/replacement. I saw some posts about running the old Ford regulators (picking one up from the Autoparts store). But the problem is they have I A S F hook ups. I do not understand how to wire that into my excisting system.
I thought that all I needed to have is a supply through the alt switch the field going to the alt and a ground.
Anybody know how to go about this.
Thanks,
Scott
