Sell Delco Remy 1118201 Voltage Regulator in Golden, Colorado, United States

You're bidding on a used original Delco Remy, 1118201 voltage regulator that's been cleaned up, replated and given a fresh coat of black paint on its cover. The regulator was then connected to a generator and dynamically paced to insure proper output as well as verify its functionality under dynamic load when heated.

You can look up the various applications for this part, but my quickie research indicates it's a factory match for certain 1946-51 Cadillacs, 1940-52 Chevy and truck vehicles, and 1946-51 Pontiacs. Generically, the '201 regulator is specified for 6V, 35 amp electrical systems.

This unit must be early as by the mid-50 era, Delco was stamping the mounting flange with the full part number, the electrical system thumbnail and the unit date of manufacture. The close-up shows this regulator is simply embossed "201". I'm guessing that the lack of additional information places this regulator into the 1940 era.

The closeup of the back side, shows I did NOT polish out the fresh plate. This is a non-cosmetic surface and you can damage a regulators' resistors if you're not careful. But, note the physical format of the resistors! They're paddle shaped wire wound components that differ significantly from the asbestos centered spiral wire winding constuction techniques used in the mid to late 50's...

This part is ready to bolt-on and show. You'll have to re-use your existing three shock mounting grommets as the ones on this unit were badly weathered. Bid in confidence as this part comes with no-DOA warranty.

Tesla asks NHTSA to investigate fires

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

In response to concerns following a recent accident which appeared to result from road debris damaging the underside of a battery compartment of a Tesla Model S, causing a fire in the engine compartment, the company has announced that it has requested that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration conduct a full investigation into the fire incidents. In a blog post, Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote the following about the investigation: "While we think it is highly unlikely, if something is discovered that would result in a material improvement in occupant fire safety, we will immediately apply that change to new cars and offer it as a free retrofit to all existing cars. Given that the incidence of fires in the Model S is far lower than combustion cars and that there have been no resulting injuries, this did not at first seem like a good use of NHTSA's time compared to the hundreds of gasoline fire deaths per year that warrant their attention." Tesla has also released a software update to the cars which will maintain their standard ride height at highway speeds, preventing the air suspension from lowering the car an extra inch at highway speeds for greater aerodynamic efficiency.

Citroen to launch '3CV' plus DS3 cabrio, DS4 SUV, DS6

Mon, 24 Oct 2011

Citroen is working on a '3CV', a radical new entry-level model positioned between C1 and C3. Imagine the previous C2 pepped up by the glittery polish that's made the DS3 such a success, and you're not far off Citroen's new city car vision. Known inhouse as Citroen Trois Chevaux (3CV), it reportedly captures the spirit of the quirky Ami 6, draws on the space efficiency of the 2CV and mimics the ride comfort of the hydropneumatically sprung GS.
