Can I use a solid state GM or Chrysler Automotive Voltage Regulator on my '64 Johnson 75hp Electramatic?<br />I was given the motor with no wiring harness so I am having to make my own. Was told I could use 50volt 25watt Radio Shack Voltage Rectifier to convert to DC current but I am getting conflicting info on if I even need a Voltage Regulator or not.<br />I have seen that the Johnsons that used a Generator could use an old mechanical type Ford Voltage Regulator.<br />But a Generator has Armeture, Field and Ground and produces DC without the need of a Rectifier.<br />The wiring diagram from a '65 Electramatic' Manual (the closest manual that I could find to matching my motor) only shows 1 wire going to a regulator.<br />I have 4 wires coming from the Stator.<br />2 yellow wires, a red wire and a blue wire.<br />The manual shows the 2 yellow wires going to a Voltage Rectifier.<br />The blue wire is going to a ground then up the wiring harness to the Tach's ground.<br />And the red wire going to one side of a Regulator and it looks like another red wire comes from the Regulator and goes to the ignition switch and then to the battery side of the coil.<br />So would a GM or Chrysler Solid State Voltage Regulator from the mid '60s to '70s work on my '64 Johnson 75hp Electramatic?<br />Or do I need to use a mechanical Ford type Regulator?
