Yup. Providing it works. Why are you changing the regulator?

He probably means the ECU will be removed- not required with a Ready-to-run distributor.

Regulator change might just be to update to the 70's look.

If what you you are referring to is the 70 and up electronic regulator, then it will not play nice with a single field wire alternator, which would be stock on your car. If you do have the single wire type then I would use an electronic regulator that is designed for that purpose(aftermarket). They look sort of stock and screw right in.

Wanted to get away from ecu and ballast resisters. Went with msd distributor and changed weights and springs to have advance kick in sooner. articles suggest changing mechanical voltage regulator to electronic wasn't sure about alternator.
