Need to replace VOLTAGE REGULATOR
No modifications to existing electrical system, (re-wired) no added electronics installed.
Is VR715 electronic unit still considered suitable as a replacement?
(yes, realize most if not all are Chinese)

Last time I checked the VR175 Autozone was $59.90. I have been using these with good success.

Standard Motor Products has been in business for decades. Their electrical products are well know to be the best. NAPA and other top end auto retailers sell their products. Look at this link and you will see two grades - low cost and high end. If you buy from a retailer or Flea Bay or etc, make sure you are getting what you are paying for.

The part number is VR103 or VR103T and the warrantee on each tells the quality.
I had a Wells VR fail, but never a SMP.
