I have has issues with NAPA/Echlin. My last regulator was Mopar. Check with your dealer. It might still be available.
Borg Warner has also been good.

No kidding .. I'm running Napa regulators on both my cars for a few years now with no issues at all .. what problems are you seeing ?
Overcharging.
Hi Mike, is this a real mopar part?

I've had good luck with a Wells VR706 electronic regulator. Don't know where it's made though.

Had two of these bad new OOTB. Had to put the ugly old OE back in to have one that worked.

Was referring to this ^^^ one.
Possibly the MP one is made elsewhere. I believe I still have the box in the trunk of the car which is in storage. If I get a chance I will go over and get the number. Mopar parts may very well still have them available.
I had overcharging issues with this exact one last summer. Summit sent me another one out free of charge, no questions asked. Almost like I wasn't the first to have that problem with that part.

Althought is weird the yellow prining on a decal instead printed to the housing

Yeah out of box failures means not tested or crap process and or materia > crappy Chinese stuff. I bet they are all made in China.

the black MP one works perfect on my car
I think the writing on the originals were printed on whereas the new MP ones are stickers.

Ron yes it is. I bought one for my daughters Duster and it is real Mopar. I bought mine from Classic Industries.

I am also having charging system problem with a 69 Coronet. Low charge. When I first start the car I see charging for about 2 seconds. 14 volts. Then it drops to 12.7v. Battery voltage. If I full field the alternator voltage jumps to over 16v. I thoroughly cleaned up the bulkhead connector thinking there might be a poor connection. I have tried two new electronic regulators purchased through Advance Auto. Same results. I also had the alternator tested at an electrical shop. No problem. This car has the newer style regulator, ballast resistor, etc.
