I bought an MGB unit and one of Theo Smits designs sold by him and Tom Hall. Today I am going to try the MGB one and it has something just a tad different than the OEM Alpine/Tiger one. First is that it is cheaper to build. In that it is not assembled with a pair or rivets. Case is crimped onto the board. Next is that it is directional in mounting with the word TOP on the side where the wire push on’s are located. And finally, the B input, or 12+ volts is the standard female push onto the regulator’s male tab. But, the LGG or instrument wires need a male spade to push into the regulator’s female part. Makes it hard to accidentally get them bass ackward. The mounting tab sticks up because of the TOP so it will actually be mounted under the dash brace in the car rather than over the top of it. I also purchased a new temp sender and surprise! It ohms out at 410 while the current in car mounted, whatever it is, has 776 ohms. So something is goofed up. And I am pretty certain that the high reading one is my Old OEM unit. I will post some voltage results today or tomorrow when I get it installed for testing. I will use the electronic version for real though. The MGB one is just for back up and to assist you all if yours fails and you want a look pretty much OEM. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>mayf</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>_________________________<br>drmayf<br>Worlds Fastest Sunbeam, period.<br>204.913 mph flying mile<br>210.779 mph exit (not top) speed<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
