I can't speak to the problems using a 40 amp regulator in a circuit intended for 30 amps, but can attest to the fact that the quality of current replacements has slipped badly over the years. I installed a solid-state replacement in my '67 Corvette about 5 years ago after experiencing the same problems you have. A member on here, "flatheadmurre" has developed a solid state regulator for 6 volt positive ground 30 amp systems that may be just the ticket. I can vouch for him and the quality of anything he offers. The only problem is that he is located in Sweden. You may want to PM him about the possibilities.
