Phil, A VW type regulator is a two unit type and though it might work , it is not the correct type regulator to match your Ford two brush generator. See if you can find the correct 6 volt 3 unit regulator. The wartime ones as fitted to military fords were very good. I often see ford 6 volt regs on ebay. Be aware that some listed new ones which are made in China or India may not be good quality, its like a crap shoot with them. Also NOS or NORS regulators may not work straight out of the box and may require the contacts to be cleaned or polished because of some tarnish build up during long storage. Make sure what you buy is for the Ford system and not the field regulated to ground system as in many of the GM types. Regards, Kevin.
