walterjim Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 I'm looking for a voltage regulator for a '63 Avanti. The current regulator is pictured. It has three connections on the frontand one on the back. Thanks!
studegary Posted August 7, 2019 Report Posted August 7, 2019 What you pictured appears to me to be an aftermarket part. SI's catalog lists a replacement regulator for a 1963 Avanti.
DTM1 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Posted August 8, 2019 For my 66 I got one that matched a 66 GTO I believe. I think o'reillys
Gunslinger Posted August 8, 2019 Report Posted August 8, 2019 The voltage regulator used on a '66 Avanti with a GM engine and alternator would not be correct for a Studebaker Avanti with a Prestolite alternator. It would be far more easily obtained but its specs are wrong.
walterjim Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Posted August 9, 2019 I ordered a Prestolite VBV-6221C that was mentioned as a replacement on the SDC forum. It appears to be exactly the one in the pic above. I'll let you know how it works out.

If so, how did that work out? The one in my Avanti looks just like this photo, and I need to replace it too. Edited January 29, 2020 by Mid Mod Guy
mfg Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 A 'Standard Motor Products' VR-107 mechanical voltage regulator is another perfect bolt-in on '63-'64 Studebaker Avantis.
