Wow, where can I purchase one of these solid state generator regulators for 
my TD?

Electrical contacts have limited life under rapid, constant switching. 
Transistors can do the job with no wear. I love my Pertronix Ignitor. If I 
can get a solid state regulator, I will love it also.

BUT, you can purchase a solid state regulator, install it in your relay 
regulator box , and all looks orig.
