  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Circa 1975 ish.

    Notice the all the OEM goodies still intact and that blue voltage regulator was on the car when I got it 7 years ago. It's date coded correctly and taking these photos into account, I believe it to be original.

    Has anyone else ever seen that before?

    Noting all the original items along with quite a few aftermarket items, I think the assumption that the VR is original after 5 years of previous ownership, is not a good assumption. Let's see if anyone else jumps in on this one.

    That could be the case but whoever (may have) changed it, did so with the correct date code.

    Is your assumption that it didn't make the 5 year mark, even though it was still on the car over 40 years later?

    I've since painted it black.
