1954 voltage regulator

[Benjamin C.]

I am looking to put the correct voltage regulator on my 54. My car had a 1118301C dated 9A... Jan 1959. I have another with the correct part # 1118827E
dated 0B.... Feb. 1960. Both are delco. I thought every car at these date codes would be 12 volt. I am completely confused. Thanks for any help.

Once you find the part # and date it will look like this having two screws holding the cover on!

B.J.-

You are looking for part #1118827. Roy is dead on - you want the VR with the screws thru the top. Click on the link provided below, and scroll down about 2/3. Pictures and explanation of original versus later produced VR #1118827. I of course learned this after purchasing a later produced VR.

If nothing else, buying the wrong part on a regular basis gives me the ability to do compare and contrast pics...

Can anyone tell me whether the "aircraft style" radio interference shileding capacitors mounted on the 1955 voltage regulator bracket are the same as the #1926873 capacitors used on the 1954 regulator bracket? Thanks.

Re: 1954 voltage regulator

53-54 capacitors all are the same (shielding and VR) 55 capacitor on the coil shielding is different (all by it's self) but the 55 VR capacitors are the same as 53-54 is that what your asking?

Yes, Roy. That's precisely what I was asking. Thanks for responding.
