I need to replace my VR in my stock 6 volt "49 Ford. I never seem to get more than 2-3 years service from the NAPA VR 401 made by Echlin.
I have an American Bosch, 6 volt 40 amp, new in the box, replacement but it is much heavier and a bit larger than the Echlin. If I install the American Bosch and it malfunctions for some reason, can it damage some other part of my electrical system? Is there any other downside other than it just doesn't work?
