walterjim Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM1 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 For my 66 I got one that matched a 66 GTO I believe. I think o'reillys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterjim Posted August 9, 2019 Author Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how did that work out? The one in my Avanti looks just like this photo, and I need to replace it too.

mfg Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 A 'Standard Motor Products' VR-107 mechanical voltage regulator is another perfect bolt-in on '63-'64 Studebaker Avantis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
