Looking for the Chrysler/Radio Shack reg/rec thread

[Patches]

Fellas, I know somebody will be able to help me out with this one. I'm trying to help a buddy save a bit of cash on his build. I have never done this before but we're going to attempt the Radio Shack rectifier, Chrysler regulator combo. Can someone point me in the direction of the proper thread where I can find part numbers and instructions for building the rectifier? I have tried to search, but there are so many regulator/rectifier threads it's ridiculous.

I've done a PMA, and a solid state reg/rec swap before, but this is new territory.

Also, a quick note to Travis, maybe this would be something to put in the Tech Section.

Thanks in advance.

Electrial section at XS650 Garage site. The other XS650 site. Thats where I found it. I don't know to put a link in here.

FWIW i used the "no nylon screws required" regulator...costs about 10.00 more. I got mine at NAPA model VR1010SB.

Many thanks gentlemen. Pamco Pete is truly an innovator and I'm sure my buddy's wallet will appreciate it.

This is what I'm mess' with..

3 Rectifiers? One for every wave of the Alternator? Does that box get some internal airflow for cooling of the electronics? Other than that it's pretty cool looking!

have 3 so it will heat up less and give you 3 spare's
they are mounted to the top of the lid, so the air flowing over the lid pulls off the heat
and its made out of alum

Actually, if those are bridge rectifiers, you have a total of 12 diodes. The circuit uses 6 diodes so you have 6 spares.

each one has 2 places for input, I use 1 per is what I was getting at
