The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Wesenberg EVR- voltage cycling problem

I don't know anything about Tom's electronic voltage regulator but I do have a solution. Many many years ago it was common to put a 6 volt mechanical voltage regulator on a Model A generator. The 6 volt voltage regulators were common back then. The voltage regulators included a cutout and a solenoid to regulate the current to the field windings to control the output voltage and over current. The field windings were disconnected from the third brush and run to the regulator F (FLD) terminal. A wire was run from the generator terminal to the G (ARM) terminal on the regulator and a wire was run from the B (BAT) terminal to the battery through the junction box on the firewall. The regulator was hidden under the car or mounted on the firewall if you did not care if anyone knew.
