Re: Are you sure about 10.2V... 1800 73

/// I am absolutely sure about my 73 144, I didn't have a 73 ES. I do have a 72 ES and since the gauges are not the same as on the 140 I would expect the regulator to be different. The circuit to change that mechanical regulator to the three pin electrical regulator is in the 1800 list archives.

I remember borrowing the regulator from the 73 to put into a 79 240 I had just purchased, (10 years ago).

My wife went out one wet morning and cranked the 79 until the battery started to die. The regulator was blown when I went out to stop her.

The failure of a regulator would still be a likely candidate. It should be eliminated as a problem source before tearing out wiring.
