I've acquired another of these TI regulators, just to make sure that when (and if) I get the car together, I'll have one. Is there a method of benchchecking that I can use now to validate the units or ????

Re: 1116368 Benchcheck ('65 Transistor volt reg)
Loren -- The 1965 New Product training program booklet (TP-34) has this to say:
When servicing the full transistor regulator system, proceed as follows:
1. Check the continuity of the entire circuit in the SAME MANNER as the double-contact, two-unit regulator.
2. The regulator parts are not serviced separately. When a regulator is determined to be faulty (either the field relay or the transistor section), the entire regulator must be replaced.
Delco Remy Test Spec's DR-324S-2 shows Test Spec's (Bulletin IR-187) for 1116368 to be found in serivce bulletin IR-266, spec No. 4237 [which I don't have]. Voltage chart # 7 gives field relay closing voltage range and cutout relay voltage range and voltage setting range for 7 temperature points between 65 and 185 deg F, whereas the specs at the end of ST-60 give values only for 85 deg F.
Your Corvette Shop Manual '65 Supplement ST-60, section 6Y describes tests to determine the faulty unit (Delcotron or volt reg) -- if it's 1116368, you have a really neat paperweight.

Loren, somewhere I have a Sun regulator tester with the leads to test them. I can hunt it up if you want me to check itDick WhittingtonComment

Yep, 4L, TWO 5C's and a REAL paperweight, a 378 7K. Begins to sound like I'll just take them over to Ward Gappa's, disconnect his and plug mine in and watch the ammeter.Comment

They are repairable. In my great piles of useless and worthless manuals, I gave the manual that spells out the proceduresDick WhittingtonComment
