Auto-Lite Voltage Regulator Adjustment instructions from Motor Age May 1949 View File Instructions on how to adjust Auto-Lite voltage regulators from the May 1949 issue of Motor Age magazine. Submitter JonathanC Submitted 08/02/2022 Category Instructions, Manuals & Templates -
I came across these two short tutorials on how a mechanical voltage regulator functions in detail. Apparently there are two basic types depending on how the generator field winding is wired, type A and type B. Other than that, the two types are identical. I'm guessing Pilothouse Dodge trucks use something closer to type A. They explain how the three parts of a voltage regulator control charging the battery, how it prevents the battery from draining back to ground through the generator when generator voltage is low or zero, and how it prevents overcurrent and over overvoltage conditions from happening. Just good stuff to know. Type A Type B

I have a 52 b3b and am having voltage regulator or generator problems. I think the generator is working. When I disconnect the wires from the generator and put a volt meter from the armature to ground and run a jumper wire from the battery negative terminal to the field terminal it appers to be charging. My voltage regulator is not marked for Field or armature. . Is the bottom terminal on the left of voltage regulator field or armature. The terminal on the right should be battery. When I go to dodge pilot house knowledge it shows all three terminals on the left side as you are looking at the regulator with the field terminal in the middle.Basicly batt field arm. Does any know if mine is field arm or arm field on the left side. Any help would be appreciated. I tried posting a picture but was not able to as it was to big and I do not know how to make it smaller. Larry
