Dave, your regulator is a replacement type made in India like most are. It looks very much like a LUCAS replacement type which could be OK to match the FORD type generator being a field to generator or armature circuit. I suggest you get your old auto electrician friend to check it out, he will know whats up with it, so I suggest that you dont mess with it at all. Did you get an instruction sheet or spec sheet with this reg ? You could do this test for a try. Remove the field wire off its regulator terminal and connect it over on to the generator terminal. Start engine and rev up a bit and you should have a high charge in amps on your dash ammeter. What you are doing here is removing the voltage and current regulators out of the field circuit and only leaving the cut out in circuit. Do that and report back. Regards Kevin.
