52 Olds Super 88 Voltage Regulator

[R_CK_R]

Hi, I got a little problem with my Super 88. I had some issues with the Voltage regulator. It did not reload the Battery it just regulated to 6V... Then I just tried a little bit (by flexing the contacts) and now it loads with 8,2V to 8,5V... And I think that is a lot too much. Now it also doesn't cut the loading relais...

I took some pictures from the regulator (I think it looks almost new). Hope anybody of you can help me or give me some tipps what I can do...

yes it's to high, my book for 50's GM auto states 6.4-6.8 volts.I'll keep looking & see if I can find more info (I have 100's of repair manuals)

Well crap! what's the numbers on your generator? I read more & it gives a few different volt #'s, & it says air gap 0.63-0.77 depending which generator you have~Chuck

Meanwhile I found a guy who produces generators and starters and he testet my generator and the voltage regulator and as he said is everything okay...
I also installed both parts and now it brings like 6,8 Volt and when I turn on the lights and the whiper it brings 6,3V while standing

But if you could scan the book though it would be great, because I'm very interested in learning more about how this stuff should work...

Thanks,
