66 Dart GT HT Whatsitgonnabe?
The vibrating points regulator was a cheap solution to a problem. The gages deflect slowly so as the regulator opens and closes to drop 12V to 5V the needles wont bounce or vibrate. You have to remember in 1966 semiconductors were expensive. Now an NTE960 semiconductor can take up to 35V input, and produce a constant smooth 5V output, and do this for about $1.00 wow how times have changed.
