This is the best TH-cam video on getting your 6 volt generator working again! I rebuilt my generator, bought a new regulator and battery but it would not charge, I made the adjustment shown in the video and everything works perfectly! Thanks!
For those of us with these classic vehicles (‘62 vette), we really rely on old school mechanics with real test benches to keep things running. I’m now troubleshooting my 12 V generator (Delco type A). Pretty sure it’s the generator and I’d bring it to you in a second but I’m 3000 miles away. Since mine is a ‘numbers matching beastie’, we work hard repairing/refurbishing to remain original. Thanks for posting. I’m still laughing at your chuckle describing the 6V ‘53 Mercury generator. That could be me.
Your post just literally solved a maddening over-charging problem in my old Ford. THANK YOU.
Finally! A video showing how to actually do it and not just talking about it. So you are stretching the spring out to increase voltage.

Thank you so much for this video it helped me greatly with my 54 Chrysler

Wow now all I need is a big stand like that to adjust my regulator
Great job. No sparks!
How about a 1957 Ford regulator for negative ground.
Is it the same? Can you show it?
That is the same procedure.
So i can do this with car running without causeing a problem or short it all out ? Brillant Video . Thank you.
You could, but you should monitor current. It’s easy to adjust it too much and burn up the generator.
@@LakelandAutoMarine Thank you .
Lakeland Florida?
What RPM do you spin the generator at when you adjust the regulator? Thanks
1500 ish
@@LakelandAutoMarine And what generator RPM should have maximum output? Thanks
Is that b circuit regulator
Yes. Ford’s are “B” circuit.
Use an 8 volt battery, works great.
