I have a constant output voltage regulator on my Charger. When I converted it to electronic ignition the Mopar instructions said reg P3690732 had to be used.
It must have took a dump because charging system is putting out 14.4 volts. According to Mopar its supposed to put out 13.5 volts.
Is there a voltage reg I could use that I could get at a parts store. If not I'll just get another Mopar regulator. What is the number for the OE look a like but is electronic?

Thanks

I have a couple of buds that got electronic ones from Car Quest in our area. They were Standard Electronic parts but I don't have a part #. They are factory replacements and work good. Hope this helps you out. Bruce
 
Got the new Mopar voltage regulator installed today, charges to 13.2V. All is good again.
Regulator was only $25 my cost with no shipping.
 
I always under stood you needed min 13.6 to maintain a battery and 13.8 to slow charge but new temp compensating electronic will give you 14.5 at low temp and about 14 volts when hot but 13.2 is to low correct me if I am wrong
 
Tester at Battery with engine running @1500Rmp....Ideal condition will give you a reading of 13.8v to 14.2v....A reading of 13.5v to 14.5v are acceptable.....Turn on a load...Accessories..Head lights ,blower motor...
 
Mopar says it puts out 13.5V, got 13.2 on my meter (meter difference?). It's not 15.5+ like the old regulator, so I'm happy.
 
Was excess voltage a regular problem on Mopars? I seem to remember going through a couple alternators, before some mechanic told me to just the replace the diode on my '72 Challenger. Sounds like it was just a bad voltage regulator the entire time?
